Creationism vs. Evolution in School

[Rubiconic Crossings V2 rev 1f]

No...Monkey is correct....

S/he's quoting a song.

And I'm referencing an ancient Chinese story...we're good

[Tlaceceyaya]

They need to teach that Evolution is what it is. Say it is not fully proven.

Teach that people do believe in God. And people don't. And that it is fully up to individual choice. No more.

It is, though.

Fuck it, evidence time.

[The Sector Union]

Evolution in school only because there is evidence of it, not because of some "atheist culture movement".

Which no one that I am aware of has ever suggested. Ever.

I don't see anything here that explains the existence of pookas, which were totally in a play I read once and I'm under the impression that if something is said in book form it's totally legit.

[Tlaceceyaya]

It is, though.

Lets remember the difference between proven and supported though Math proves, science (generally) does not.

Evolution is an observation.

[Enadail]

Evolution is an observation.

I'm not denying that, I'm saying to the guy you responded to's statement that it needs to be proven, which it doesn't.

[Lankar Islands]

Evolution. Creation stories are metaphors, and evolution never stated how the world was created and what not.

[Diopolis]

Evolution in school only because there is evidence of it, not because of some "atheist culture movement".

Which no one that I am aware of has ever suggested. Ever.

I believe some fundamentalists have, but noone on this thread has suggested it.

[Regnum Dominae]

Which no one that I am aware of has ever suggested. Ever.

I believe some fundamentalists have, but noone on this thread has suggested it.

I mean that I am not aware of any atheist ever advocating an "atheist culture movement" in schools.

[Furious Grandmothers]

This might be the first forum page in human history to surpass a source:claim ratio of 42^[1].

_{1. Adams, Douglas. (1979). The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. London: Pan Books.}

[Hathradic States]

Both should be optional. *nods*

[Divair]

Evolution in school only because there is evidence of it, not because of some "atheist culture movement".

Nobody's suggesting that. Literally nobody.

[Mike the Progressive]

Evolution in school only because there is evidence of it, not because of some "atheist culture movement".

Nobody's suggesting that. Literally nobody.

I'm sure somebody somewhere in the world is literally suggesting that.

[Hathradic States]

Nobody's suggesting that. Literally nobody.

I'm sure somebody somewhere in the world is literally suggesting that.

Whenever there is an insane theory, there is some fool who believes it.

[Mike the Progressive]

I'm sure somebody somewhere in the world is literally suggesting that.

Whenever there is an insane theory, there is some fool who believes it.

Insane or otherwise, there is always somebody who believes in something.

[Heavenly Peace]

The school and the teachers working there should be the ones to decide what they teach and if the parents disapprove, send the child to a different school. Personally I think Creationism is no better than believing that there really is a tooth fairy which collects disused molars and sells them off on the cheap to dentists in North Korea.
