so you think that spending money teaching in a science class creationism is money well spent in a science class?

Erm dont' be so sure, the UK is also considering creationism lessons. It's very sad that science is once again being held back by religion, based on nothing but a very old book.

I wounder what will happen when the children with more brain than the rest will tell their teacher/preachers to prove it.

The only thing that the teachers/preachers will do is to wave their bible and hit the kids in the head with it.

They go to get the Jesus in these heathens head. how dare them to question the bible.

Don't they know and should know that God wrote it himself.

...so???

Did anybody teach you in high school that the universe was consisting mostly of inconsistent matter, and that, really, everything was being held together by dynamic electro-magnetic process rather than gravity? No they haven't, because today's scientific community is made with just as much sheep herders than in the most fundamentalist religions of the world, and they don't want you to believe in an open, blurry vision of the universe where there is no gravity, no constant order and where things can't be so easily quantified into strings of 0s and 1s.

Stop playing the hypocrite game and face reality... that reality is a creation of the power dynamics that govern this world (imposed by the people who are "in the know"), not some static, clear-as-glass, platonic knowledge of the universe that comes from the realm of the "truth". In other words, science is politics too, just as religion.

The problem is not about schools teaching evolutionism or creationism, it's about schools NOT teaching kids how to make their own judgment on this world and discover the right and the wrong, and the truth by themselves.

Are they teaching Creationism or Intelligent Design? I think it will be interesting when the first secular humanist that is required to teach ID discusses the possibility that the planet was seeded by an intelligent alien culture as part of a 5th grade science project.

There will be enough fecal matter hitting the oscillating blade that you'll feel like wearing a hazmat suit in the front row of a Gallagher concert.

it is my opinion (even though I think creationism is crap) thatit is no worse than all of the other altered history and science curriculum kids are taught these days.

Every day I have to sit down with my son after school and make sure he is being taught the facts.

Long story short, school nowadays has become a waste. It is the responsibility of the parent to make sure their kids have the facts and that they are learning things that will be useful in their future. it is also important that you are viewed as a far more charismatic and credible form of leadership than that of their schoolteachers, or they don't know who to believe.

I do not consider things they teach kids like pilgrims and indians eating turkey together on "thankskilling" to be useful at all. In fact the current school curriculum is extremely annoying.

But that's ok, I do my job, take responsibility and they are ineffective at raising a dummy at least on my child's part.




basicly you are teaching your child facts based on your beleifs. which is totaly fine.

but if your child reached an age where he thought you were wrong and believed in creationism how would you react.

personaly i think your reasons for the school curriculum is crap.

i think if school is teaching children range of diffrent things so they can make there minds up at an oldereough age that is just fine.

i also think the role of a parent is to teach ther kids good morals and commen sence not just pushing there beleifs into their heads.
