Teaching creationism in public schools

I agree that creationism should not be taught in schools. But at the same time I would also say that they should not teach evolution in schools. Let them teach science in science class.

“Technically evolution is science, because it can be proven/disproven. The theory o creationism is just a theory -like evolution-, but it can not be proved, because it is built upon faith and not facts.”

You’re confusing the scientific definition of ‘theory’ with the lay definition. Evolution is a scientific theory, because it can be tested and disproven, as you suggest. Creationism is not a scientific theory, because it cannot be tested or disproven.

The bill was not passed of course. I was just asking for opinions.

They don’t teach evolution in Sunday school… so why should they teach creationism in Science class?

It doesn’t belong in Science class…

They should have a elective ‘Theology’ class for that… but they have to include ALL religions… which of course… they WON’T…

America kicked God out of schools a long time ago - you said: since there are other religions do you not think that would be rude - you notice there is never any concern/care for offending the religion of Christianity ?…there is One who notes same.

I think all the THEORIES should be taught in class. Since none of them are 100% proven just thoroughly assumed. And YES baby God belongs everywhere.

Seperation of Church and state bans any teachings or preachings of any ONE religion in public schools. if they teach more than one (I.E.: Christianity and Judaism), they are able to give unbiased opinions. But they can not force the class on students, it has to be taken at his or her free will.

Actually, it prohibits any legislative action (which has been extended to executive action by the courts) which respects the insitution of religion at all, or prohibits its practice. Our government is legally required to be blind to religion.

The school has no religious authority to teach religion but it should at least mention intellegent design. There should be books avalible for renting that go over religions though.

It certainly doesn’t belong in science class, because it’s not a scientific theory. If they want to teach about it in theology or comparative religion classes, fine. But that’s not what the creationists are trying for, of course: They want to corrupt the teaching of science to include their unscientific ideas in areas where they perceive science to conflict with their religious belief.
