Do you think Creationism should be taught in school? If so, why? [Spirituality & Religion]

But as far as science is concerned it IS fact. It's a Scientific Theory, capital T.

Scientists have good, predictive evidence to think that evolution took place.
Should that be taught as only equally likely as the idea that a bronze age book telling the truth about supernatural events?

@UnparalleledMonster: It is not a fact just because you stand on its side, im sorry to be the one informing you, but you never seem to understand. You saying that the evolution theory is fact to me, is as if I'd say my beliefs were fact to you. Don't push your beliefs on me. You can teach me about them, but you can't tell me it's fact. I know it isn't fact.

....I know. I've just told you why it is considered fact in the same way that particle theory or gravitational theory is considered fact.

I think you'll find the difference between our beliefs is that science supports evolution but not so creation.

[quote] I know it isn't fact[/quote]

Well that is a VERY bold claim. How do you know?

No you did not tell me why it is considered fact, let's not pretend here. You told me that there is evidence and how it's similar to the 'gravitational theory'... Come on now, don't fool yourself, that is not explaining anything, neither is it supporting anything.

The gravitational theory is vastly different from the evolution theory, stop comparing the two of them as if they were the same thing, as the first is nothing like the other.
The gravitational theory is a theory surrounding math problems over how matters attract each other.
The evolution theory concerns wether or not we were first single-cell lifeforms, and then over a huge amount of time (said to be completely impossible compared to how long we believe the earth has existed for, by an atheistic scholar within the subject teaching on my brothers university) slowly transformed into something as complex as a human being.
A human being with a brain capable of storing unimaginable amounts of storage, exceeding far beyond our lifespan. Which is quite contradicting to the evolution theory in the first place, as the evolution theory claims that unnecessary traits will be ridden of, and then exchanged for something we absolutely need for survival. Perhaps instead of a possibly infinite amount of memory capacity, we could have have a smaller capacity and instead be better at recalling memories. If evolution indeed existed, as theorized, then this would indeed be how it was, wouldn't it?

Science supports my religion as well, the fact that you have no insight in the matter proves how you are not suited for a serious discussing between religion and evolution. And from what I've read about evolution, this theory is barely supported by science, barely held together on a bunch of incoherent numbers, equations and ideas. It is nothing you can bring to the table and claim to be fact in the name of science, ugh the absolute ignorance.

[quote]Well that is a VERY bold claim. How do you know?[/quote]

I know, because I know that my religion is true based on what I've read. And I know that your theories are not supported enough to even be considered fact in your own world. And I know that we were created as human beings from start to finish by God our creator, and we'll always be human beings.

@MartinTheFirst:

They are the same in the eyes of science. Just because you agree with one and not the other doesn't change that fact.

[quote]Science supports my religion as well[/quote]

Ehhhh not really. Which is why among scientists creation is only believed by about 10%.

[quote] this theory is barely supported by science[/quote]

Ehhhh not really. Which is why among scientists evolution is believed by about 90%.

[quote]I know, because I know that my religion is true based on what I've read.[/quote]

....what?
You know the bible is true because of what is says in the bible? (please insert holy book of choice)
I must be misunderstanding. How do you KNOW that your religion is true?
What are these things you have read that lead you to believe your idea of god and creation are true?

@UnparalleledMonster: Don't discuss this with me again. You're not openminded nor educated enough to even touch the subject.

@MartinTheFirst:

Oh come on marty, don't flee the conversation just because it's getting tough.
And certainly don't make excuses that are just insults to my character and education.

I am open to rational argument. So far you have said that science is not very firm on evolution (which is objectively false, as per the stats i gave you) and that you KNOW that your religion is true because of the bible.

Tell you what, let'signore the other stuff and just concentrate on how you know your religion is true.
I am very curious about that.
Are you able to elaborate on what you mean by "I know, because I know that my religion is true based on what I've read." ?

@MartinTheFirst:

It sort of seems like i suddenly became too close minded and ignorant when i challenged you on your knowledge of the veracity of your religion...

@MartinTheFirst:

lol oh well. Catch ya next time, marty.
