Can creationists even define the difference between a science class and a theology class?

Question

or is creationism supposed to be taught in EVERY class ... grammar, math, economics, finance, gym, etc ....?

Answer 1

Marty let me give you a clue hon.
A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. A theory is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it.
The opposite of fact is fiction.

If they can provide one scientific theory to support evolution, I would be all for teaching it in school.

Answer 2

I like the pbuh - probably over the heads of many readers. :-)
(pun intended)

Theology was often called the "queen of the sciences" because it provided a philosophical framework or worldview for handling questions in all the other studies (arts.) As the scientific worldview began to create its own philosophy, more and more universities questioned the need for theology departments and began to create science departments.

A science class deals with theories concerning that which can be measured, or has effects that can be measured.

A theology class is strictly a philosophy or metaphysics class, and identifies how we process or understand the importance of the data provides by things like measurement and science and experience and arts.

OK, I tried. BTW, I did my theology training at the University of Cambridge, and also have a bachelor of science and master of arts from US colleges.

I found the theology lectures far easier to sleep through. ;-)

Answer 3

of course.
a science class studies empirical data; a theology class defines the data of revealation found in the sacred scriptures and sacred tradition both coming from the same deposits of faith.
a science class follows mainly the inductive method - from a hypothesis to a conclusion - while a theology class follows mainly the deductive method.
the former sees first and then believes; the latterbelieves first and then sees.
the former uses man-made telescopes and microscopes;
the latter uses God-given telescopes and miscroscopes of faith.
both are acceptable because science concentrates on the things that are seen while the other on things that are not seen. where and when science stops, faith begins

Answer 4

You are really attempting to make the false claim that only Atheism is science. Unless I assume there is no God it's not science? Do I have the correct?

What you are really talking about is the science of your religion vs. the science of my religion. You see if you start with the assumption that everything is only caused by natural forces that is a religious assumption or viewpoint. It cannot be proven it’s just your scientific hypothesis. If you start with the assumption that intelligent design set things in motion that also is a scientific hypothesis. Perhaps also cannot be proven but we can and must look at the evidence. To fail to do this would be unscientific. That would be drawing a conclusion without ever looking at the evidence.

Atheist science vs. Intelligent Design science

I believe the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of Intelligent Design. It is just reality, why not study it? Unless you just cannot face the truth? Need to cover it up? Don't want to know?

Why are Atheists so frightened by this evidence I wonder?

Answer 5

Half of them know nothing about scientific theory or evolution, except that they think it says "man came from monkeys". They find it easier to accept that a magical being made the universe in six days, based on a two thousand year old book. They wouldn't know science if it whacked them in the head with a brick.

Answer 6

Actually the issue is whether to teach the implications of science along with the facts of science. For example if there were evidence of extrasolar life, but not absolute proof, should it be taught the extrasolar life exists. If so, then what of the implications of God's existence from nature?

Answer 7

One is suppose to be real with results the other guessing!

Answer 8

No. They can't even tell the difference between scientific theory and mythology.

Answer 9

Barely.

Answer 10

Seeing as how very few of them are remotely familiar with evolution, biology, or much of anything. I really, really doubt it.
We need to work on public education.
