The public school system is just that, public, and if a majority of a town's citizens want Creationism then they can have it. IT IS NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB TO STEP IN. No matter how much you socialists may think it is. The constitution exists for a reason to be respected, Locke himself said the only job of a Government is to protect the natural rights of its citizens...

You do realize that you conform when you're forcefully taught something you don't want to learn, right?

You do also realize that the fact that you say yes to one thing, but no to the other, that you yourself are conformed, therefore making you just as conformed as anyone else in America.

i'll assume you're talking about God?


"Anything you don't understand... you attribute to God. God for you is where you sweep away all the mysteries of the world, all the challenges to our intelligence. You simply turn your mind off and say God did it." ~ Dr. Arroway



I'd prefer not to use book quotes to argue my point, but it does an accurate job summing up people with mentalities like you.


and before you go "ORGANISMS ARE TOO COMPLEX!!!! THEY NEED CREATOR"
they used to say the same thing about the sun and lightning.. along with emotions as love and greed.


furthermore, don't bring "IVE EXPERIENCED IT" as an argument. It has no factual credibility in this debate nor will it progress this debate further.

Look up Argument from ignorance

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance

"EVOLUTION IS FALSE CAUSE YOU WERENT THERE TO SEE IT!!!!"






@rigatony : please look up the word "science" and "science classroom".

then come back in here and explain why and if "science" should be taught inside "science classrooms"

You'd be surprised about how backwards some segments of America are.

A hilarious example would be the Amish. Also, Mormons, Scientologists, and Raider fans.

Mind telling me why Mormons are so hilariously backwards?

i think we need to see the constitution the way it was meant to be read in 1776 by that i mean seperation of church and state means you can't let the government force a religion to be established and taught in schools like it was in england back then idk what that has to do w/ this but wanted to say it. now back on topic i think you can teach both but let kids choose which 1 they want to learn or not even have that class at all

You'd need to make a whole new class for that to be taught, then. Evolution has been observed and is considered as scientific fact by an overwhelming majority of the scientific community. Teaching both would be like teaching a class that's based on 2+2=5 and another based on 2+2=4. One is fact and has been rigorously tested while the other is not.
