Creationism in Public Schools

[Geneviev]

It probably will be. Intelligent design is becoming more popular.

I hope not. We don't need watered down creationism or creationism at all for that matter.

Especially creationism that acts like a more scientific creationism.

[Jolthig]

It also depends on where they got their so called "PhD". If they truly got one, especially in evolutionary biology, I doubt they'd be spewing the rhetoric of young earth creationism.

It should be noted that you don't need a PhD, or technically any degree, to be a "scientist". Being a scientist isn't like being an engineer, or a lawyer, or a doctor; you don't need to pass exams or be officially licensed to be a "scientist".

I didn't say that at all. My point was that some creationists when they publish their books, they tend to include where they got their PhDs from to prove that they're somehow experts on a certain subject despite their willful ignorance of evolution.

[The South Falls]

That was in y'alls food pyramid?

Being in elementary school at the time, and many years later, a couple years ago reading an article on this subject, yeah, the tongue was presented alongside the pyramid.

I'm just thinking about Umami.

I have to ask but why should creationism, at all, in any way, shape or form, should be taught in public schools?

Let me analyze that tongue.

I didn't say you did. My point was that just because someone claims to be a scientist doesn't actually mean they know anything.

Ahhhhh

My bad then. I agree.

I never saw that before. Your food pyramid was better.

It's a part of Christianity, and different religious beliefs should be taught in public schools.

So first, the tongue was created. The tongue became the lord god, and on the first day...

[Dumb Ideologies]

Initially misread as "cremation". I'm all for discipline but that'd be going a bit far.

On creationism, teach it in religious studies as a belief that people have, but keep not-science out of science. You wouldn't teach alchemy in chemistry, yeah?

But why in biology class?

It's a part of Christianity, and different religious beliefs should be taught in public schools.

Different religions should be mentioned and explained, to a degree in as much as they pertain to a particular context, like history. Belief systems should not be taught in public school. That’s something relegated to home or place of worship.

[Jolthig]

Ahhhhh


My bad then. I agree.

The tongue licked the air and sudden rain fell from the sky and it hit a mass, creating the earth and the oceans.

It’s like wanting to teach numerology in math just because some people may believe in it and it involves numbers.

[Geneviev]

It would be better in a history class.

If it's kept out of schools, it's likely that children are forced to believe one thing without having a choice.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Haha.

Teach it at home or place of worship. School is neither. If they go to public school, subscribe to the curriculum.

[Jolthig]

Haha.

Alright, then theres no disagreement between us.

[Wallenburg]

There is absolutely no value in teaching children pseudoscience. It only harms them and society. If they are determined to put themselves through the necessary religious brainwashing, they are free to do so, but not on the taxpayer dollar.

Besides, children aren’t being forced to believe in anything. They are, however, expected to learn a material, be tested on it and pass their courses.

And have a basic understanding of how that field of science works.

It’s like wanting to teach numerology in math just because some people may believe in it and it involves numbers.

Or doing a history module on Ancient Aliens.

Those Egyptians were really Martians and you know it.

You know it’s true. You Muslims know that that was no Golden Disc depicting Ra. No. That was a flying saucer.
