Texas: Put Creationism In Every Textbook!!!

[The Scientific States]

No, not really. Only the logical and factual beliefs.

like catholic one

Tell me why Catholicism is the correct belief.

Enlighten me.

[Pandeeria]

No, not really. Only the logical and factual beliefs.

Catholicism has no valid evidence.

[Genivaria]

No, not really. Only the logical and factual beliefs.

You mean the faith that believes that the bread and wine turn into the LITERAL body and blood of Christ? That's logical!?

[Kingdoms of Cal]

No it isn't. School isn't here to teach you beliefs. School is here to teach you knowledge. If you want to go crazy and learn about astrology and alchemy, you can do it in your own time.

So beliefs aren't knowledge? Knowing about creationism isn't knowing anything? Really?

No beliefs belong in religious studies, not a science class room.

[The Holy NeoSpanish Empire]

school must support each people believings

Then you agree we should teach about every single religion in the world, then.

there are private school for people of each believong if youre in catholic school youre there to be cristian , if not , got to other school

[Great Nepal]

No it isn't. School isn't here to teach you beliefs. School is here to teach you knowledge. If you want to go crazy and learn about astrology and alchemy, you can do it in your own time.

school must support each people believings

I agree, school should start teaching we dont fall because of invisible strings that tie us to ground and that 2+2=5. Respect my believes man!

[Divair]

No it isn't. School isn't here to teach you beliefs. School is here to teach you knowledge. If you want to go crazy and learn about astrology and alchemy, you can do it in your own time.

school must support each people believings

No. Schools aren't here to support any beliefs. Schools are here to teach. Beliefs are entirely private and can be dealt with by individuals in their spare time.

[European Socialist Republic]

So you go against what the Pope says? Well that makes you a Heathen doesn't it?

no , it makes him an antipope

Nope, the Pope is infallible.
You're a heretic!

[The Corparation]

Creationism belongs in a religious studies class that is optional. Evolution and science must be mandatory.

Says who? Says you? It's only fair we teach them both, (and it's not like we have to go through each and every religious detail, just let them know it exists, sheesh!) so people can decide what to believe. Creationism is just as much school material as math.

Evolution is is a Scientific Theory supported by mountains of evidence and research the other is an suppurated idea based on a 2000 year old book with no scientific backing. Yeah I really don't see how teaching them both is fair. As for equating Math to creationism. I find the notion so hilarious I'm not sure how best to snarkily respond.So I'll link to a pic of the Snark Missile instead.

No. Science class is for science, not quackery, which creationism is. Put in a church (or mosque, etc etc.) and keep it out of science since it isn't science.

I cannot tolerate intolerance! It's a viscious cycle. I accept and even understand your beliefs, but your skull is as thick as diamond.

Go texas! By my standards you have redeemed yourself!

Funny you mention that, we're discussing public schools.

[Lydenburg]

Why is this so bad, exactly?

Nobody said that Texas must be promoting creationism in every textbook. Americans had this same discussion some sixty years ago, when evolution was first placed in some state curriculums. It wasn't promoted, merely taught as another popular theory.

They're not Catholic schools, FFS. They're state schools.

[The Scientific States]

Go texas! By my standards you have redeemed yourself!

Ok, seriously since when were there so many creationists on nsg?

[Pandeeria]

Go texas! By my standards you have redeemed yourself!

How is breaching the separation of church and state a redeeming factor?

[Pandeeria]

There aren't that many. Just so many of them popped up on this thread.

[Nazis in Space]

This wouldn't have happened if the Nazis had won.

[Bundesdeutschland]

I really wouldn't mind putting creation in our textbooks...but the fact that people see this as a step to teaching that the Earth is flat is absolutely ridiculous and annoying, in my opinion.

Uh, no. I went to a Catholic school here in Belgium. Guess what? They taught us evolution is true and creationism is false!

[Agritum]

no , it makes him an antipope

Nope, the Pope is infallible.
You're a heretic!

Sedevacantists and "Traditionalists" are just reactionary Catholics which can't cope with the fact that, apparently, God is more progressive than them.

Creationism has no valid evidence. It's pointless and time consuming to teach all these different theories when the correct one is right in front of us.

We're not talking about Catholic schools. Stay on topic.

We go through phases, especially during and after a particularly warm summer.
