Fearful, unloveable, nasty white boys hoping to sound like real men by talking tough in a place where they are safe to spout off their vile hatred without getting their sorry punk asses kicked.

This is an old debate, and one which is wearisome because there is no evidence that, even if it wasn't just a theory, the existence of evolution rules out the existence of an intelligent creator, or that the theory of creationism in any way is less valid than the theory of evolution. If you're going to discuss theories about how the earth came to be, there's no reason to leave out the theory that the biblical version is a possibility. By leaving it out, you are encouraging children to accept a viewpoint that is not complete, and by presenting it as fact, you are forcing, essentially, the "religion" of evolution down their throats.

We'll just agree to disagree, I suppose.

There is a practical reason to leave it out of the science classroom, in that there are hundreds of creation stories.

There is a rational reason to leave it out as well, in that creationism and ID do not have qualities that make them science. They are not science. They make no testable predictions. They are positions of faith. They are not subject to change.

A "viewpoint that is not complete?" That is meaningless. Any subject (math, reading, science, social studies, whatever) teaches a child a particular disciplne. The place to teach faith is in faith classes.

Evolution never purports to be religion. Only those who believe creationism call evolution a religion. Scientists generally have no difficulty distinguishing between science and religion.

Creationists seem to confuse the two regularly.

Scientists have no problem with faith. Scientists do have a problem with religion viewpoints being taught in science classes.

I mean really, we don't ask to come into your churches and spout evolution to you on Sundays, but that would be the analogous situation, think about it.

Then respect the differences between faith and science..

Also as far as "Trooper Gate" goes..............The "left" better leave it alone, cause they're gonna get hurt badly if they go after her on this one, like they're doing with the " Oh my!Unwed daughter whose going to be marrying and keep the baby." scenario.

You can prove evolution to the same point you can prove creation. The real issue is you dont have to have a creator in the evolution theory and you use that to say hey this is science. But if there is creator you say not science because you have to prove the existence of a supreme being. When in all actuality none of the evolutionary theories have been proven so I think that you can take a scientific approach to any theory.
