| Its retarded this even comes up.
There is honestly no real honest debate in the scientific community over creationism vs evolution. It has no part because there is no scientific evidence that seriously points in the direction of creationism. Its fine if you want to teach creationism at home or in church, but you must remember, we all belong to a special club, called the USA, and we all pay club dues, called taxes, and in the pesky club handbook, called the constition, it calls for separating church and state, which means no religion where government, and government funding is involved.
And the "this is just a theory" arguement is dumb as well. Most things in science are "theories". But we must teach them in order to gain a basic understanding of scientific criteria. The idea that the earth revolves around the sun is also a theory, which is also contradicted by the bible, perhaps we should teach both? *sarcasm* |
