why is it wrong to teach theory of the evolution in schools?

Question

maybe thats how god created us, through evolution. what if this would be true but they are against teaching it?

Answer 1

I will hug you! Finally somebody else see's it the way I do. Yes. What if God created us through using the methods of evolution! Of course. Yes!!!!! I mean these people who think that they are gloryfying god by casting dispersions on the theory of evolution are actually insulting the creator. Can't God create however the friggidy frack he/she wants to?

Answer 2

Pity you didn't ask: "Is it wrong to teach the theory of the evolution in schools?"
Personally I don't think it is wrong to tech this. After all, Zeus and the other Greek gods are also taught on schools, without anyone being afraid that the children might start believing the Greek myths.
As a matter of fact, you'd expect any well educated person to at least have heard about the Greek gods.
The same way, you'd expect schools to teach about Christianism, humanism, Buddhism, Islam, Darwinism. Not because you want the children to believe all those faiths, but because you hope that one day they will be wise enough to make a decision which religion, theory, etc. is worth believing (worth worshipping?).
If people know the essences of other people's beliefs, they can understand other people's motives for certain things, and understanding is the start of accepting each other differences.

Answer 3

It's wrong to teach evolution because that is NOT what the Bible says about how we got here. It says God created man from the dust of the earth, and woman from a rib of the man. Because I believe what the Bible says, I have to conclude that evolution is false. If one chooses not to believe the Bible, one has to come up with an alternate " theory " as to how all the things in nature are so intricate . Just on a purely logical basis, evolution is very hard to accept, because the odds against every thing working out the way it did , purely by chance, are astronomical.

Answer 4

The only people who are against the teaching of evolution are those who prefer to remain ignorant of anything which seems to threaten their religious beliefs. Some say schools should also teach religious ideas about how life began, but those ideas are not scientific. Then, too, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of religious "creation" stories. They can't all be taught or there'd be no time for anything else, and public schools cannot give preference to one religious belief over any other.

What it comes down to is that there are some religious theists who think that their religion should be given special privileges: it should never be questioned, it should be taught in public schools, etc. However, public schools are not meant to be churches, and we do have a constitutional separation of government and religion in America.

Religious theists are free to tell their children what they think about any subject, but they are not free to impose their beliefs on the rest of society.

Evolution should be taught because it's science, and other areas of science depend on understanding evolution. The U.S. is falling far behind other countries in science, but we can catch up if we reject the attempts to bring the Dark Ages -- a time when religious superstition ruled -- to America.

Answer 5

There is nothing wrong in teaching evolution in schools. There is plenty of evidence that supports evolution.

Some christians do not think that evolution and the bible are compatible with each other. They think either the bible is true or evolution is true, but not both. Hence they offer Creationism as the alternative.

However, there is plenty wrong in teaching Creationism/intelligent design in schools. There is no evidence that supports that.

Answer 6

Evolution is taught in schools, and there's nothing wrong with that..

Now there's a difference between scientific theory and any old theory that comes along. There is physical evidence that Darwin was correct; there is no such evidence supporting Christian creationism. As for religions in general, which creation theory are you going to teach: Christian? Hindu? Buddhist? Nature Religions?

If you're going to teach every theory, then you shouldn't pass up mine.

Answer 7

I agree with you. It could very well be that God's the driving force behind it. It's not wrong to teach it.

I understand where Intelligent Design advocates are coming from regarding the teaching of the Theory of Evolution in schools. However, I think most arguing for its prohibition are misinformed.

In my opinion, Darwin's theory isn't a conclusion of how life began, but rather how it got to where it is today. Nowhere do his observations mention, much less does he make a conclusion about how molecules began to self-replicate themselves.

Answer 8

Evolution has thousands of pieces of evidence to support it. It may have some weak points, but it's currently the best supported explanation we have.

It has not been proved to be a lie and is not a religion. There is no conspiracy to defeat creationism. Scientists all over the world who don't even care about creationism have come up with evidence independently.

Creationism or intelligent design is a valid theory. There is no actual proof, only speculation. And it is untestable. And it's a weak attempt by Christian creation "scientists" to argue the existence of God with a political agenda.

Answer 9

No. No matter what your beliefs are, science has proved that evolution is how our world evolved. There is no reason why the two theories of evolution must be mutually exclusive of each other. Perhaps Adam and Eve appeared once man evolved past the Neanderthal stages. Or perhaps Adam and Eve were apes and man as we know it were apes when referred to in the Bible.

The fact is you can have your beliefs but to ignore science is stupid. So yes it would be stupid not to teach the theory of evolution in schools. As to other theories, they belong in the churches. They are not backed by science so they have no place in the schools. They are based on beliefs and should be taught in the churches.

Answer 10

If by "God", you mean "Mother Nature" then there is no "may be" about it. Evolution is the process that molds everything in the universe.
Homo sapiens have only existed like we are today for only a few hundred thousand years; but we didn't just spring into existence because some supernatural being waved his magic wand. We slowly evolved from our ancestors.
There are people who don't believe this and they're invariably involved with fundamentalist religious groups.
