Texas Textbook Publishers Say No To Creationism

It appears that science is prevailing in the latest battle over Texas schoolbooks.

Though earlier this year several of the state’s textbook reviewers called for biology textbooks to discuss creationism, publishers are not complying with those requests, according to the Texas Freedom Network. The nonpartisan watchdog examined material made public by the Texas Education Agency and found that publishers are sticking with teaching evolution.

Creationism is a religious theory. It does not belong in a science textbook.

Evolution is nothing more than a theory, it doesn't belong in a text book either.

For that matter. Gravity is a theory too. Why are we teaching that?

Evolution & Gravity are based on observed scientific evidence.

Creationism isn't based on any scientific evidence.

so it doesn't belong in science class.

its place in the public schools, is religion class.

I wonder how it was proposed to be presented? If presented a certain way it wouldn't be out of place for at least a mention in a Science class, but if presented another way it might be more appropriate for a course in Theology.

"In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth", is not science.

That statement reveals the weakness of her mind.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Evolution in the science room, Creationism in the liberal arts room.

 

[Unkotare]

"In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth", is not science.

We don't have to go back and forth for 50 pages just to bring the discussion finally to the Big Bang and the singularity, do we? Can we just jump ahead to that part?

Creationism shouldn't be taught in schools. More time needs to be focused on real science and classes like economics.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Evolution in the science room, Creationism in the liberal arts room.

creationism is for people that bows to rocks and worship mindlessness.

When you have a storied history with such names as Sam Houston, Audie Murphy, George W Bush and Rick Perry. there is little room for God and His eternal plan...you assholes in Seattle would not know that.

 

[Hoffstra]

God doesn't belong in science class.

 

[Unkotare]

God doesn't belong in science class.

At some point you run up against the concept, even if ignoring it is mandated.

 

[deltex1]

God doesn't belong in science class.

If He was, His classmates would have ALL THE ANSWRS.

This is what's wrong with Islamic countries. They only care about religion and not educating their children to be able to compete.

Christian extremist also have this problem.
