Should religion have a place in Schools

[Samuraikoku]

Evolutionism is what most people are taught in biology class. How the universe was created and how we all evolved from primordial soup and single celled organisms.
However that is a belief just like religion and it should be taught in schools like all other religions are taught. As a optional course.

Typical answer, reminds me of the Intelligent Design fellows.

I find it funny that Dukis claims on a different thread that he is ''too smart''. Interesting...

NOOOO! Then you'll also kill off all the kangaroos! I can't let you do that starfox!

Just what I needed to see. Star Wolf.

Yes do it! Kill all the furries!

Go away.

I wholeheartedly believe that a comparative religion class should be taught in schools. I think it would go a long way in teaching some tolerance and critical thinking.

This is true, lack of being informed often leads to intolerance

While in school/high school, we had NO religion whatsoever. It's just said "Islam invaded Europe and people fought in the name of Christianism." (I'm oversimplifying I know, but you get it).

So you didn't learn like, the five pillars of Islam or any of that stuff? I remember getting that in World History freshman year! Granted I don't remember what those pillars were, but I remember covering them. Hmmm...

Same (you from New York?).

My school taught us about all the major religions, they're origins, major leaders, and cultural significance. Regardless of your view on religion, you cannot deny that religion is one of the most influential aspects of history.

No, you can't. What happens in the US is, some people think that their religion is also a wonderful explanation of science, how the universe came to be, how life appeared and developed, all that. They also feel that their explanation is the only explanation. That's when the arguments start.

Oh I completely agree. It has always been my view that we should teach everything equally. We should educate our students on the intricacies and similarities of religions in our History classes, but keep the their views out of the science room.

Where was that I forgot?
To those people who weren't there when part of this argument started it started by debating what was a religion.
Main point.
Evolution is real that was not disputed.
What was disputed that was that evolutionism is not science but it was a belief and should be classified as a religion.

The only people who think "evolutionism" is anything are creationists.

Evolutionism. Does. Not. Exist.
You. Just. Pulled. It. Out. Of. Your. Arse.
There. Is. Not. A. Single. "Evolutionist". In. The. World.
It. Has. Never. Been. Taught. Anywhere. Ever.


Cosmology and Abiogenesis, however, are absolutely sciences, complete with evidence, and are in no way a religious belief.

Dukis,
What you are saying is in a way correct... but you are also contradicting your self here. You should watch hat you are saying and make your self look like a fool. I don't doubt your smart but don't let your smartness leave you close minded. I belive in evolution as well. But not evolutionism.

[Free Soviets]

Evolution comes from beneficial mutations. Beneficial mutations don't exist or at least we haven't found one in the last few thousand years of mankind. Therefore there is no evolution.
There are a lot of other arguments against it also.

Nylon-digesting bacteria. Your argument fails.

hell, my ability to drink milk well into adulthood without getting ill makes his argument fail.

He didn't even use his own ass, "evolutionism" was made up years ago by creationists trying to make a tu quoque fallacy stick.

Ok now read this next part very slowly.
Evolutionism is the belief that everything on this planet evolved from some single celled organisms.
It is what some atheists believe in instead of believing in a god.

Actually no. I am agnostic. I do not believe in organized religion.

[Enadail]

What was disputed that was that evolutionism is not science

Actually, no, that's not in dispute at all. Evolutionism is not a science. It is a creation by religious idiots who couldn't debate on even terms, so had to create mockeries of science to feel like they had a ground to stand on.

So there ya go, something we agree on! Evolutionism is no more a science then gravityism or forum-postingism.

No... it... isn't.

Evolutionism is a term created by creationists to try to paint science as a religion. It means whatever the particular person using it means, because it has no meaning in itself.

Find me ANYONE who believes in your "evolutionism".

[Barrasso]

Thank you very much that is what I was saying. Evolutionism is not science and therefore should not be taught in science classes.
Now should it be taught in schools like religion?

... You don't seem to read anything anyone is posting.

Evolutionism... is... not... real.

It does not exist. It is not taught anywhere I have ever heard of, and if its being taught, its being taught on purpose to discredit science.

Of course it shouldn't be taught, any more then then a school should teach that Christ was a 4 headed alien who built the pyramids while tapping everyone he met on the head. It is a non-sense idea, and it exists only in the minds of those opposed to science.
