"13 percent of biology teachers back creationism"
13 percent of biology teachers back creationism - Technology & science - Science - LiveScience - msnbc.com
Personally, if it was shown that they refused to teach actual science in the classroom I would work to have them removed and their teaching license revoked. If they separated their beliefs and their teaching then its all good.
Do you like it that public school teachers do not teach children about the flaws with the theory of evolution and where it falls apart? Or that none of them teach children that Darwin said the only evidence that could possibly support his theory would be found in the fossil record which he said, IF his theory were true, the majority of fossils would be "in between" specimens, neither fully one species or another but ones showing that one species was in the process of turning into another one? Yet the FACT is that even though the fossil record has been quadrupled since Darwin, there are ZERO "in between" fossils at all and that every single fossil ever found is a KNOWN species and not an "in between" of one species turning into another? Not only are the majority of fossils NOT the "in betweens" Darwin predicted would exist in the fossil record -there isn't even ONE! Were your kids taught THAT in public school? Of course not -but let's pretend teaching our kids crap you approve of isn't a detriment to human knowledge!
I don't want religion taught as science -but I also don't want science treated as if it were a religion and scientists were gods either. The theory of evolution is seriously flawed and if Darwin were alive today, he would be the first to admit it. The Bible is not a science book and was never intended to be one either. But science is not a religion and it NEVER requires my FAITH. I don't ever bear ANY burden to explain why I refuse to believe in a THEORY. I only accept proven FACTS -theories can be interesting, suggestive or even ridiculous -but they are ALWAYS unproven and NEVER facts. Which is why they are called THEORIES and not FACTS. Scientific THEORIES are NEVER something that requires MY explanation as to why I don't fall down and worship at that altar. I do not EVER challenge scientific FACTS -they are what they are! And there are NO scientific facts that can ever have ANY impact on my religious beliefs! I do not fear gains in scientific knowledge -at all. Wish I could say the same for those on the left.
The theory of evolution really is the primary religion of the left. And they have ONLY so firmly glommed onto it because they think it neatly cuts out any role for a Supreme Being -and they will cling to that no matter what problems and flaws are found with the theory. And they will because they fear the next scientific advancement in knowledge will not so easily dismiss the role of God in the equation. That is the ONLY reason they are so off the wall whacko on the subject when anyone tells the truth about the theory and says it is seriously and evenly fatally FLAWED -which it is. Not realizing that even if the theory were true, it would have ZERO impact on anyone's religious beliefs! I don't care if it true or not -only the left CARES about that. I only care about what is scientifically PROVEN -but the left only cares about what theory will best eliminate a role for God in their OPINION. An opinion that isn't shared by those with religious beliefs anyway since there are no scientific facts that can prove or disprove RELIGIOUS FAITH! "Faith" is that which is believed with NO PROOF at all! And it has NO ROLE whatsoever in SCIENCE!
The left will not tolerate ANY challenge to their theory they love only because they think it cuts out any role for a Supreme Being -and they are AFRAID the next theory grounded in better scientific facts MIGHT NOT! TOUGH SHIT -that is NOT how scientific truth is determined. What you WISH were true does not and cannot ever MAKE it true! Clinging to a theory in spite of its flaws can ONLY delay any advances in scientific knowledge. Those who cling to the theory of evolution in spite of more than 40 known MAJOR flaws with the theory and at least 2 dozen scientific facts that outright contradict major portions of it -are the new flat earthers. They FEAR any further scientific challenge to their "religion", will not tolerate any scientific challenge to it -and I mean ANY SCIENTIFIC challenge to it, not a religious one. And they won't and can't because they are politically invested into THIS ONE. And that means any further advancement in scientific knowledge about the origins of life on this planet have been set back for at least two centuries and maybe longer. Only the left becomes politically invested in a scientific theory because those with no religious beliefs will still search for SOMETHING to believe in. So scientists become their gods and their theories becomes their bibles. And it is provably BAD for the benefit of man, is a known detriment to the advancement of scientific knowledge and the advancement of our species.
Scientific FACTS are what they are. They NEVER require anyone's faith, they NEVER require my BELIEF -as if it were my BELIEF that makes them TRUE! They must FIRST be proven TRUE before I ACCEPT it as proven FACT. Notice in that sentence there is no role for my BELIEF! Only my ACCEPTANCE in proven FACT. But the left actually demands the opposite. The theory of evolution requires FAITH just like creationism does. And FAITH is "belief in something without proof it is true". They are both RELIGIOUS beliefs and not scientific FACTS at all -but the theory of evolution actually requires the greater leap of faith. (an issue for another thread) I don't EVER mind if a science teacher shows respect for the religious beliefs of their students -because it is ALWAYS possible to teach SCIENCE without denigrating anyone's religious beliefs. The left seems to think that is somehow IMPOSSIBLE but it is not.
I object FAR MORE to public school teachers refusing to teach the TRUTH about Darwinism -warts and all -and instead try to foist off the LIE that it is somehow "proven fact" when it not is NOT, but it is actually a badly flawed theory that attempted to explain EVERYTHING with an overly simplistic postulation and ended up explaining NOTHING. It will NEVER, NEVER, EVER be "fact" because of these KNOWN, FATAL flaws with the theory. Were your kids taught THAT?
Even if you are one of the fruitcakes who worship at the altar of Darwinism -you still can't get around the scientific FACT that there is absolutely nothing "natural" about the notion that inanimate, unconscious, nonliving materials will somehow "naturally" produce a conscious, self aware, living organism. The person who can prove THAT will be THE biggest name in science, a name that will live forever in the annals of man's history -not just science. But in fact man has spent nearly his entire existence trying to prove that is not only possible but "natural" -meaning "seen to occur in nature". For something to be "natural", it must actually occur in nature. And what man has REALLY proven is that IF the origin of life is that nonliving, unconscious, inanimate materials gave rise to a living organism -there is absolutely NOTHING "natural" about it whatsoever because it has never once been seen to occur in nature EVER. There is more evidence that the origin of life was the result of alien life seeding our planet than the ridiculous notion that nonliving materials somehow "naturally" produced a living organism. A magical property that promptly disappeared again and was never again seen to occur in nature! Seriously, they do NOT teach rational and critical thinking in public schools anymore -they INDOCTRINATE instead. The reason that allowing government control of what your kids are taught in school is always a really bad idea. What your kids will REALLY be taught is determined by who has political control of the educational process AND their political agenda. And nothing else. What the "I worship at the evolution altar" whacko crowd cannot accept is the fact I am not the one who fears further scientific advancements and knowledge -because science can neither prove NOR disprove ANY of my religious beliefs. But further scientific gains sure as hell can disprove the "religion" of the left and THAT is something they will NOT tolerate at all. For NO other reason than the FACT they so greatly fear that further scientific gains will not let them so easily insist there is no role for a Supreme Being. They won't let go of this fatally flawed theory until like the Vatican-FACT can no longer be denied. It took CENTURIES before science advanced enough that the Vatican could no longer deny the earth was not flat. The left who are so politically invested in this theory they demand people's FAITH in it -have actually set back human knowledge and scientific advancement as well. And THEY control our public schools.
Crap is CRAP. Religion is not science and people like you can really get that one. You can wrap your head around that one. But you cannot get that science is not a religion because for you it is. And it is a religion that people like you demand the BLIND FAITH of everyone else to pretend it is somehow "proven fact" when in fact it is a scientifically KNOWN fatally flawed theory. But since most people do NOT go on the advanced sciences -politically indoctrinating them to this "religion" only benefits the political agenda of one side. The only side that thinks keeping people IGNORANT somehow benefits them.
