Creationism or Evolutionism?

Postby Kyria » Sun Dec 09, 2018 1:32 am

The majority of Kyrians are irreligious or non-Christian, and so Creationism is a fringe viewpoint. Most people would laugh at the idea.

Public schools are not allowed to teach things from a religious viewpoint, and the teaching of Creationism is explicitly banned because of its rejection of modern science and theory. Only evolutionism is to be taught.
Private schools are exempt from this restriction but very few actually teach creationism because of the stigma and controversy surrounding the idea.

Secular schools teach Evolutionism

Religious schools may teach Creationism depending on what religion it is.

Evolution is mandatory to be taught in schools, as it is based upon scientific fact and indisputable evidence.

It is required by federal law for schools to teach evolution. Creationism and its equivalents are not commonly outlawed, but are uncommon.

There is little instruction in the principles of either creationism or evolutionism as that area of science is not a subject that is typically taught in Nortan schools. Elements of creation are taught in theology and scripture classes.

This nation is an exaggerated representation of my personal views in most areas.

While religious worship is legal here, our schools will only teach evolution
I use all NS stats (even the dumb ones like weather) except for population
Most of my lore is spread around the forums (In cases of conflict, the most recent is canon) because I can't be bothered to make a factbook for everything. There is no prize for finding all of it, not even bragging rights. Why would you brag about something like that?
I have no idea what I'm doing and making this up as I go

Arkaudia is mainly Catholic Christianity with about 70% ~ 75% identifying as such. Many are converting over to Agnosticism and Atheism with it being Second Place ahead of Islam. Our schools teach evolution with religious schools being banned as we want to remain secular because our history of being a Christian and Islam nation isn't the best, especially in the middle east.
