Should Christian universities be allowed to give teaching degrees?

Question

I have a problem with this i really do. How can a person who believes in creation and has attended a university that supports this and received a degree condoning it be allow to teach high school biology. Do we want private religious universities to license people to teach our kids?

Answer 1

I trust in someone who has a legitimate degree to keep their religion out of school. When proven that I am wrong then I of course make sure that person gets fired and never teaches again. But until then, I trust that person.

Answer 2

We only know for certain of six thousand years of history. It is conjecture on the part of scientists on anything before that. I was taught that fossils were thousands or millions of years old. Mount St. Helens blew only a few years ago and lo and behold, fossils. I was taught celocath were extinct ancient fish in the evolution of sea life. Now they find the same fish off the coast of Madagascar and surprise it is the same fish, no change. Every few years the "scientists" come up with a new explanation of how old the earth is and how everything came about. Every so often we, the general public, find out they were wrong again. Stick with what you can prove. Remember, the scientific method? It can be reproduced. They can't. They build speculation of models and theories. The models will do anything you want just like statistics. I do not believe our kids are receiving a "real education" but social indoctrination. Real education died years ago.

Answer 3

So you want to kick out of our schools every graduate of:

Harvard

Yale

Princeton

Northwestern University

University of Chicago

Syracuse University

You would eliminate nearly every college and unversity in the country which is more than 50 years old and which was not founded by a state.

Is that what you want?

Answer 4

There are some nice christian universities out there and all schools have to teach the same things....

Answer 5

Christian universities have to abide by the same standards that any other university does to license a teacher. Also you would be suprised to find that many christians that study science believe evolution to be true.

Answer 6

most of biology is fairly textbook

this is the heart

this is an ego system



the only portion of it that would have cause clash is evolution.

and even still, they have to teach it as a theory anyway, since it is not entirely proven.



i do understand the problem you have, of how the condemnation of it will cause damage to the psyches of the pupils.




who willl teach our kids? most public universities are not putting out enough teachers

Answer 7

As a fundie, believe it or not, you and I may agree on something - we each have particular standards about to whom we should entrust the training up of our children. I want ONLY Christian teachers, you want ONLY non-Christian teachers, another person wants teachers who believe that homosexuality is OK, and on and on and on..... Let's get together and get schooling of 5 to 18 year olds out of the government's hands. We could start with vouchers, so you and I wouldn't have to pay twice for our children's' education (I pay taxes AND pay for Christian schooling for my kids).

Answer 8

Perhaps you'd like it better if only atheists were allowed to teach your children...
Perhaps you could send your kids to a private atheist school.
Stop burdening the public school system with your ridiculous religion.

Answer 9

I have a problem with a teacher who is unable to know the easy and plain fact: there is a God! How stupid is this person?

Answer 10

Agree with above poster, no other industrialised county allows this.
