If creationists want creation taught in school along with evolution. Then evolution should be taught in the churches.

Let them teach it in schools if they want, but don't teach it as a science cIass because it's not science. Make it an elective and label it philosophy. Then everyone on both sides of the argument will have to shut up.

No. Creationists don't give a crap about the education of children, they simply want more ways to spread their religious beliefs among individuals, specifically the youth. They want their beliefs to be taught as if they were logical facts in school, which they are not.

If anything, make it a secondary activity that is NOT REQUIRED by the board of education.

There is nothing illogical about the creation theory. If fact, the creation theory does not have to even differ from that of evolution. Any rational mind has thought attempted to trace the line of cause and effects back to an eternity, and all signs point to an unmoved mover, or an uncaused cause. Which is God.

I fear that everyone in this debate has an incorrect concept of God. The name "God" does not have an religious ties. In reference to creation, it is closer to the latin meaning which is Father, or Creator.

Actually the problem here is creationism is never taught in schools only evolution, which is actually a religion because it is a worldview, and a religion because you have to be believe in it.

Creationist actually use science for the reasons why evolution is wrong, plus evolution is not real science, at best it is a theory. But I like to say it is just athiest coming up with a religion of non belief. Nice try athiest, you tried to brainwash me, but it didnt work. But it worked on my family sadly, they all think they came from monkeys.:? funny, the tourist guide said the rocks were 750,000 years old.. Why? Because she said someone else said they were, no real reason. But observing you can tell the change is much more rapidly as there is a lot of water dripping around, the rock is soft like you could take parts off easily.

Doesnt it concern you that the real bible is never taught ever, while other things are taught in place? I say have both be in the same place, both be taught, and watch evolution get crushed by the creationist argueing with *gasp* science! By the way the t-rex was a herborvore, cant do much with those tiny arms, sorry if I misspelled it

Creationist have set up debates with evolutionist believers, funny how the evolutionist dont show up, but they love to teach it to kids who dont know much information yet. But I agree dont allow catholics to teach kids, that is a dangerous game that led to world war 1 & 2.

1. No its not. Its based on the scientific method and it isn't a question of belief. Its a question of evidence.

2. No they really don't. They present misinformation and lack an understanding in the subjects in which they claim expertise.

3. Like the theory of gravity or the theory of Newtonian motion aren't real theories.

4. There is debate all the time. Don't belive me, check out youtube.

Evolution is not and never was a religion.

Creationists using science to debunk evolution is laughable at it's most credible form. Evolution is one of the most widely-accepted theories in the scientific community and is considered to be pure, hard fact. This is because there is nothing currently known or available that defers the fact that organisms evolve / adapt over time. Nothing that creationists have ever displayed to counter the existance of evolution has been proven correct, and so evolution, as it stands, is a fact. Plain and simple.

Also, humans didn't evolve from monkeys, we just share a common ancestor. Get it right or don't talk at all.

Doesnt it concern you that the real bible is never taught ever, while other things are taught in place? I say have both be in the same place, both be taught, and watch evolution get crushed by the creationist argueing with *gasp* science! By the way the t-rex was a herborvore, cant do much with those tiny arms, sorry if I misspelled it

Evolution is in no way threatened by the "science" thrown at it left and right by creationists, because creationists don't know what they're talking about more than half the time. The so-called "science" they try to shove down people's throats as fact are usually little scriptures and passages found within their holy book or some fairy tale told by their priest. If the creationists used actual science to debunk evolution, it always ends up being wrong or a fallacy of some sort.

Oh, and T-Rex was a carnivore. Those puny arms of theirs were not required for use by the predator as it was more adapted to the life of a scavenger, feasting off the dead bodies of deceased dinosaurs, since the creatures couldn't run that fast at all. Their teeth also are a clear indicator that it didn't chew on leaves for a living.

Creationist have set up debates with evolutionist believers, funny how the evolutionist dont show up, but they love to teach it to kids who dont know much information yet. But I agree dont allow catholics to teach kids, that is a dangerous game that led to world war 1 & 2.

The facts about life should be teached by scientific literates who have an advance knowledge of the subject at hand, backed up by use of the scientific method used by all *serious* scientists around the world. Creationists have no place in the ****oom, at all.

creation is not a THEORY. A theory is a proven hypthosis that has proven with vigorous research by scientists. There is not way to test a creation myth.

A curious pattern....many christian scientists(who I greatly respect) have made large advances in the fields of conventional science, but not one atheist/agnostic scientist made one discovery relating to creationist science.

No. Creationists don't give a crap about the education of children, they simply want more ways to spread their religious beliefs among individuals, specifically the youth. They want their beliefs to be taught as if they were logical facts in school, which they are not.

If anything, make it a secondary activity that is NOT REQUIRED by the board of education.

Ok, I have never even heard of Kitzmiller vs Dover, so that means that there is ATLEAST one Creationist who DOES give a crap about the education of children. That automatically makes your argument flawed.

Creation is not a theory, there is no evidence to back it up

All rational minds try to trace it to something that they can't understand. It's easier to suggest someone created everything, opposed to the theory of evolution

I didn't say every atheistic/agnostic scientist is close-minded. Just from my personal experience, and especially on this site, I tend to see atheists being more close-minded and ignorant than Christians. This thread only confirms my experiences.

Ok, I have never even heard of Kitzmiller vs Dover, so that means that there is ATLEAST one Creationist who DOES give a crap about the education of children. That automatically makes your argument flawed.

Did you even look up Kitzmiller vs Dover? They (Creationists) aren't trying to educate children - they're trying to indoctrinate. Indoctrination is not the same as education. To educate, you are actively teaching why something is, but to indoctrinate, you are telling someone whether something is true or not without going any further. The Creationist movement is trying to undermine science to "teach" children something that has no evidence for it at all to something that has a great amount of evidence, and saying that this is fair.

A curious pattern....many christian scientists(who I greatly respect) have made large advances in the fields of conventional science, but not one atheist/agnostic scientist made one discovery relating to creationist science.

Could it be that Christians tend to be a little more open-minded about things:question:

Just throwing it out there.

Even if that were generally true, christian scientists are a minority, and you cant say that every atheistic/agnostic scientist/historin/anthropologist is close-minded

I didn't say every atheistic/agnostic scientist is close-minded. Just from my personal experience, and especially on this site, I tend to see atheists being more close-minded and ignorant than Christians. This thread only confirms my experiences.

That's your opinion, but a bunch of teenagers operationg anonymously cant be held to the same standard as adult scientists who are held responsible for their actions.

By the way, so I have an idea who I'm talking to, are you a creationist or just a christian

I tend to see that atheists demand proof to believe in something. Christians/Creationists don't produce it, hence they don't agree with their views.

It's really quite simple:
Give some sort of tangible evidence to believe in God

Give some sort of tangible evidence to believe in Creationism. There was even a thread where the TC ASKED for proof and through the 50+ pages, not one Creationist delivered.

So who is more close minded, those willing to testify their arguments with proof, or those who claim baseless facts?

Short answer: no.

Sorry, but no. And, no, I'm NOT going to back that up with evidence. Why? Becuase if you need evidence regarding this question, then you sir are a sad, miserable, shell of a man masquerading as a lifeform. Its like asking for evidence that water tends to flow along the path of gravity.

Its right infront of you, brah.

I am an Agnostic Christian that believes in Theistic Evolution :oops: I know, I am a very complex individual.

The thing that bugs me though is that some people actually take what these teenagers say to heart, much like I did a few years ago (on a different site). It turned me into a hate-filled atheist much like many people on this site.. Luckly about a year ago I found the grace of god again in my life. I have seen life through the eyes of both sides, so I know that neither belief is perfect and both have their problems.

Actually the problem here is creationism is never taught in schools only evolution, which is actually a religion because it is a worldview, and a religion because you have to be believe in it.

Creationist actually use science for the reasons why evolution is wrong, plus evolution is not real science, at best it is a theory. But I like to say it is just athiest coming up with a religion of non belief. Nice try athiest, you tried to brainwash me, but it didnt work. But it worked on my family sadly, they all think they came from monkeys.:? funny, the tourist guide said the rocks were 750,000 years old.. Why? Because she said someone else said they were, no real reason. But observing you can tell the change is much more rapidly as there is a lot of water dripping around, the rock is soft like you could take parts off easily.

Doesnt it concern you that the real bible is never taught ever, while other things are taught in place? I say have both be in the same place, both be taught, and watch evolution get crushed by the creationist argueing with *gasp* science! By the way the t-rex was a herborvore, cant do much with those tiny arms, sorry if I misspelled it

Creationist have set up debates with evolutionist believers, funny how the evolutionist dont show up, but they love to teach it to kids who dont know much information yet. But I agree dont allow catholics to teach kids, that is a dangerous game that led to world war 1 & 2.

This "enlightened" bs is really starting to irritate me. Theistic evolution? Are you kidding me? And really, perpetuating fundamentalism and molding ideas to fit your frame of thought does absolutely nothing to advance the human race both technologically and culturally.

In b4 you pretending to feel "sorry" for me or making me mad and not adding anything to the conversation.

Um... Haven't I already added to the conversation :??

People mold their ideas all the time to fit their frame of thought. Science is evolving and able to explain a lot more than it did 1000 years ago. I am not just going to ignore everything that doesn't suit my belief perfectly. And lastly my 'beliefs' having nothing to do with whether or not I am going to help the advancement of the human race. I actually want to get in the medical field and help people, but I guess by your logic, that wouldn't help 'the human race'.

P.S. Why would I feel sorry for you :question:. You are not sick or anything are you?

While evolution is just a theory (but a very likely one), we also have pretty convincing scientific proof that what the bible says is wrong. Christians tend to hold on to the belief that earth is less than a million years old (or the life on earth) yet it's easy to test the age of anything holding carbon. That isn't saying creationism is bogus, but the christian view on the earths history is also wrong.

There are scientist who are creationist with a reason though. Here in holland there's a biology professor who's creationist after doing lots of calculations. He calculated the chance that live was formed out of nothing, or out of several aminoacids to be pretty much infinately small.

But evolution is not a religion... and creationism is not a science. They should be kept distant from each other and in different venues.
