shouldn't we teach stork theory as an alternative to biological reproduction?...

For the record, I don't mean this as an insult, I just find it entertaining... Creation Science is an idea, it is not science, and is not a scientific theory via the requirements for something to be a scientific theory, whether or not it is completely true.

Hee hee -- an interesting but flawed comarison. Biological reproduction is scientifically proven.
The theory of evolution has a lot of problems. There are many facts that cannot be explained by the theory. A few of the classic problems with the theory are: If humans evolved from apes, where are the missing links? Why did some apes evolve and some did not? How did a complex organ like an eyeball evolve from a single-celled creature? With so much left unexplained, the theory of evolution is just that -- a theory.
Can we prove the theory of creation? No more than you can prove evolution. If you do not have a belief in a higher power, obviously the theory of Creation makes no sense. But what is the harm in allowing for the possibility of a higher power creating the world? Many people in the world do believe in a God, so, for us, Creation is the best explanation.
Keep working on your theory. If you can scientifically prove it, I will accept it. Until then, as a scientist, I will keep an open mind. Please do the same.

I don't think the free-thinker is going to adjust well with either one. I like some of what Intelligent Design comes up with, but it's like they are trying to market it, and it doesn't do well being marketed. Evolution is simply too demanding for faith. Especially with Convergent Evolution. I would say on the whole, the jury is still out, but I'm leaning away from Evolution towards Creation, though I would not support "Creation Science" because there seems to be too many wonkey people with terrible ideas on how to present it, and what to say about it. So I hope I'm making myself clear that I'm not trying to be a fencewalker. I'm just trying to keep an open mind. Taunting people with "Stork Theory" isn't a fair thing to say, I think. That was a quote from Richard Dawkins and then dubbed dubiously onto Ben Stein's movie, "Expelled . . ." No one in Expelled: No Intelligence Alowed had anyone talking about Stork Theory. I checked.

Absolutely. Not to mention the "green cheese" theory of the moon and heliocentricism. Of course, as part of creation science, we would have to include all the other creation stories. If you could cover two or three a day, you would get through a good part of them in a school year.
Somehow I doubt that's what the proponents of creation science had in mind, however.

If we except the story of evolution then all life evolved from a certain point. So every creature on earth should have the same number of chromosomes. So we should be able to use the blood of any animal in our bodies. But I think I'll stick with human blood and figure some one planned it that way. If you want to try and reproduce with a stork good luck.

You make a valid point, or at least Judith Hayes did

well there are other forms of reproduction than what we are taught in high school, and why not teach creation science...evolution means change, and everything changes...however there isn't anything that can disprove the creation theory, but it is known the humans are the only creature on the earth missing the steps in evolution...humm that's something you should consider. you seem to be more geared on keeping faith and religion and belief in God out of school than you are worried that the theory of evolution will be lost

Haha, you're not going to like the answers you're about to get. That was a great insult.

If we teach the stork theory, I demand equal time for the under-a-cabbage-leaf theory!

I concur. Creaton is a religious belief. If we taught one religious belief, we would have to teach them all.

I wonder if people can come up with evidence that storks bring babies if they look hard enough.
