Is it possible to have a religion and believe that God didn't create you?

Question

Why is Intelligent Design not taught in public school?

nosleept No I don't want Christianity taught in schools in the interest of fairness;but you obviously haven't heard of Haeckle.He was a fraud.

Silver,which denomination is the right one?It's your decision.You need help with that ?The Good Lord said that "you can judge a tree by it's fruit".
You must be the only Atheist who will allow ID in public schools.Your mates would hate you for that.

Answer 1

Sure, but you wouldn't be a Catholic or Christian, because that is part of their belief.

Answer 2

I don't send my kids to school so someone else can teach them religious beliefs. That's what church, synogogue, and mosque are for. I send my kids to school so they can learn factual information they'll need to have successful careers and make a positive difference in the world.

Intelligent Design, whether I believe in it or not, has no factual basis. There is no scientific evidence to support it. If my child's teachers tried to tell the students that the world is really perched on top of the back of a giant turtle, I would be pissed, and if they said "There's no evidence that the world is NOT perched on the back of a giant turtle, the world didn't just get here by accident, at some point the turtle had to start sprouting trees and humans," then I'd laugh all the way to the superintendent's office.

If a person chooses to "have a religion," as you put it, that's their choice. The public school system has nothing to do with teaching them about God. That's the job of parents and clergy, no one else.

FYI, even my high school AP Bio teacher, who was a devout Christian and dared anyone to prove man had evolved from apes, didn't try to pull the "intelligent design" stunt. Even in a conservative school district. She knew better that to try passing off faith as science.

Answer 3

Yes. It is possible to be a Buddhist, a Hindu, or ascribe to a number of other religions and mystical ideologies that do not believe that God "created" creation and have other explanations about the nature of God and other beings and how God and creation happened.

Intelligent Design is not taught in school (unless you live in Missouri or Arkansas perhaps) because it is a faith-based ideology (not fact-based science, which should be taught in American schools so that American children will grow up to be able to intellectually, economically, and technologically compete in the World Market in the future ) and is reminiscent of medieval theocentric and geocentric beliefs that have long been disproven.

Answer 4

it is possible, but not really under the banner of religion.
you could believe that God's design was to be the 'first cause' then just see how things develop, hey! why not? it is no more irrational than any other belief.

creationism should be left out of schools because it is only one side of the argument, you cannot be bias where children's education is concerned, I believe in Evolution, but I still think religious education should be taught in Schools, but it should be all religions, not just Christianity. you also have to admit that there are a plethora of Christian sects, so which one is the truth? yours? the Nazarenes were the church of Jesus; Arianism was the first Christian organisation, this was usupred by Catholicism which was classed as heresy and Protestantism was born; which one is the true faith skylolo?

Answer 5

Religion is what you want it to be. You can believe that a bottle of Jack Daniel's is God if you want. Intelligent design is not taught because there is no proof of it. Evolution is a scientifically proved fact. There is no evidence to suggest that a higher power had any hand in designing life on Earth.

Answer 6

very religious people never talk to God,.. but just go through the motions.

Why else could satan confuse entire churches.
...........
Science creates theories baced only on the facts it can see.

The only believable lie has truth in it.

Science is making assumptions baced on a limited perception. Science is a lie.

Love comes from the soul. For if love came from a hormone, then it would come from with-in like adrenaline.



People think that people imagine the feeling of love. That it’s a trick of the brain.



Yet, love comes from where the people touch you, not from with-in like a hormone. If love were up to the perception of the user, then how come no matter what mood you are in,.. you still feel love. If you hate the person loving you, you may feel grossed out to love,.. but still feel the love. If love were up to the imagination of the user, then you could trick people into thinking inanimate objects are people hugging them.



Now from what is seen here, we see that the soul has an energy that is independent of matter,.. but has side effects in matter. Hence the brain is specifically designed to react to the spiritual energies we emit.



Now what do you say about the people who have felt God’s love? Being in God’s presence charges the soul and body. It’s called the renewing of the Holy Spirit. And this residual effect goes away when people travel down old thought patterns that contradict the perfection that is God.

Answer 7

Buddhism, the atheist form.
ID isn't a science, which is was proposed to be taught under, there was a court case in which it failed to prove it had any scientific validity.

Answer 8

I think you should check out scientology, but apparently, its required that you be quite naive, very vain and don't forget really wealthy.

Intelligent design can't be taught in school because God has been expelled from school, can't even say His name in school unless you're cussing.

Answer 9

Public school student cannot understand the real meaning even you don't understand what is god and why it happenned.

Answer 10

1. Buddhism and Taoism.

2. ID is not support by any sort of factual information.

Answer 11

For the same reason witchcraft isn't taught in public schools. They are there to teach facts, not beliefs.
