Do you think creationism should be taught in school as a credible alternative to evolution? [Spirituality & Religion]

If so, how do you feel special creation meets the criteria for a science in the way that the theory of evolution does?
Evolution is racism at its finest.

@Celine And he can't even pull that. He spent half this reply chain either making up lies about me or pulling my level of education into question instead of actually arguing.
@Celine Later kid
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@SomeLikeItHot Oh look at that, conveniently ignoring my comment asking why he decided to tell lies about my personal life.

No, because it is not scientific. Creationism may be discussed in religion classes, as it is based on religion.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@newjaninev2 yes I am suddenly blocked as well.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@MasterLee I would say that running away and blocking everyone shows the threadbare nature of any argument... but there was no argument, merely a series of laughable, ridiculous, unsupported claims.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@newjaninev2 true enough
MasterLee · 56-60, M
Religion is the basis of prejudice. Evolution is only an explanation of how we became what we are over time. It is observable.

@Celine God is above everything.

@MasterLee Religion is one basis of prejudice. So is race/appearance, national origin, disability, sex, age, financial status, gender, and a lot more. Most of those are out of the control of someone which group the person is a member of. Religion though, is a choice. Do you want to be in the group with the Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans, Jews, Muslims, or some tribal faith. Everybody outside of that are "your enemy". That was fine in times of tribalism, when we had weapons of rocks or arrows. That is no longer fine, nor productive, nor useful when we live in a world with a global economy, where we can travel anywhere in the world in less than a day, when we have weapons which could destroy life on earth in a few minutes. In the current reality, religion, which might have given us comfort and explained the unknown in the past, has become an existential threat!

nope, science is about evidence, verifiable evidence, leading to models that describe the way the universe works.

Science changes it views from what can be observed
faith ignores evidence, so that belief can be conserved

there is Zero evidence for creationism
please note, a clever idea is NOT evidence,, it is speculation

we ARE apes, sorry it is not a cooler animal like wolves or leopards i think more folks would be okay with it then
Nope. Faith pretending you know how it all began because of a book of myths cannot be taught as science.

It neither meets any definition of being scientific not is it credible .. if you want to believe fairy stories that's fine, but don't dress them up as fact

@ozgirl512 @ozgirl512 you mean angles arnt real? I have been living a lie my whole life!
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@shockerllnl fraid so!
shockerllnl · 41-45, M
Then the reading I have been doing is all wrong.😀@ozgirl512
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
No. Evolution is taught is science class because it is science. Creationism is not science, it's not a theory, it's not a viable hypothesis.

beliefs should just be debated in schools
not taught as such
I had the subject bible studies at at school and found the history very interesting
BethKCZ · 56-60, F
@SW-User Did you debate the Hindu creation story? How about the Navajo creation story? Japanese/Shinto? Celtic creation story? Did you study these in science class? If so, just when did you study *anything* resembling science.

When you say you studied "Bible studies" and found the history very interesting - I most certainly hope that you studied those same historical periods from other cultures, at least in the region if not the world - except when the claim impacted the world - and compared and contrasted those stories to hypothesize about the truth? Most certainly, you didn't just read one history from one culture in school!

Creation should be taught because it's common sense. Evolution is just a theory made up by liberals.

@Celine So if you don't agree with someone they're automatically a troll? I guess liberals aren't so tolerant after all.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
Trolls seem to have the same affliction.
LucyCan · 26-30, F
Maybe all creation by God could be scientifically expressed as the exertion of intelligent wishing power: G x W(i) = Cr 🙄
okaybut · 56-60, M
No...creationism should be taught in religion. It is not science.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
Science should be taught. Superstition is not science

Beliefs don’t have any standing in science

Of there was a class in judeo-christian mythology...
MasterLee · 56-60, M
Creationism should never be taught as fact
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@SomeLikeItHot creationism is not historic. It can't be proven historically.
@MasterLee Actually that is part of my argument. Respect.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@SomeLikeItHot no you can't compare apples to oranges. Myth is myth.
SW-User
Absolutely not
No. Schools should stick to concrete education and leave religion to the parents. I would think most Christians would agree, but maybe not.......
SW-User
It wouldnt work. Man's own Ideas with the Bible will not work for an Arguement. Just drama
