I think it is a terrible disservice to children to not be taught science. I think that evolution is part of understanding how we evolved from australopithecus and neanderthals to homo sapiens--a facts verified by years of anthropological research. Just as we see the evolution of the great tiger, elephant throught fossil remains of the saber tooth tiger and the wooly mammoth, we also see the evolution of mankind from early hominids to modern man. Evolution is real. It is not a lie. It in no way disproves the existence of God as so many advocates of Intelligent design and Creationism proclaim.
Do not lecture us on science if you yourself know little about it. For something to be a theory is needs evidence. Evolution is a theory God is not. Evolution can be confirmed through tests and experiments, God can not. I am currently taking college courses in evolutionary biology so unless you too take those courses do not say how evolution is fake because the current evidence points to that it is not. Also, no recent study stated that carbon dating was incorrect.
If you think evolution is fake, you're either very ignorant or you're ignoring the evidence. After all, there actually IS evidence (and plenty of it!) for evolution, and there is NONE for religion. So if anything, they should stop teaching religion in schools!
Exactly! My science teacher and I were talking about beliefs and evolution and other beliefs and I DO NOT believe in evolution, and I never will. I told her there *is* proof that evolution doesn't exist, and she was like "no there's not", but there is. I read that scientists say that the rotation of the earth slows down every year, and someone did that calculations, and if the earth actually were millions of years old, the earth would be spinning so fast everything would be flying off! According to biblical evidence, the earth is only about 6000 years old. Not only that, but there's lots of other proof that evolution does not exist. Plus the guy who came up with the theory, that darwin guy wasn't really even in his right mind when he did!!! People said that he was a dark man and was having problems in his life at the time. I think evolution is a TOTAL LIE and a bunch of crap.
There is a lot of evidence that God exists also. I am a Christian and all this evolution crap shouldn't be taught in schools! If they can teach that belief then why can't we learn about the Bible in school? If you live in America, this country was founded on Christian beliefs, too! I can't stand the evolution theory.
Wow, some of the answers to this question make me want to throw my hands up into the air in despair. Before you start refuting evolutionary theory, maybe you should take time to acutally understand the fundamental ideas and evidentiary support the theory is based upon. I find it particularly laughable that anyone would hold up the human form as a paragon of intelligent design - surely beings of physical perfection wouldn't suffer from poor eyesight, arthritis, hayfever, deformities, mental health problems...the list goes on. We are surrounded by examples of selective breeding and the ways humans have directly influenced animals and plants such as livestock, dogs, crop plants etc. It is that difficult to imagine changes in environmental pressures over time resulting in different characteristics becoming essential for survival? Please at least go away and read some books.
I think SCIENCE should be taught at schools. It wouldn't work to teach the Christian religion at schools where there are non-Christians. School should just stick to science not beliefs
There is nothing "fake" about evolution. It is not a lie, and there is overwhelming evidence to support it. I would like to know what you think should be taught in our public schools?
If you think evolution is fake, how would you explain the ability of viruses and bacteria to mutate into new strains that are more resistant to medications from one year to the next?. Every year new strains of flu evolve from old strains and are more resistant to antibiotics and other medicines. How do you explain the combination of two plants to produce a new one. How would you explain the ability to breed animals in order to eliminate undesirable traits and strengthen those traits that are more desirable? Scientists have been able to produce forms of wheat and corn that are resistant to insect predators, and those that have increased yields. The processes employed to alter plants and animals are forms of evolution that are accelerated and controlled, but evoloution none the less.
Well an Christan but currently have not been to church and my view on the topic is that evolution is a fake no question about it I can't see how any one could believe it either I don't believe a lot of science but I guess you can say people are entitled to there own opinion lol for what ever thats worth I could tell people around the world I am a former president of usa and the sad thing is someone out there would believe me so that says it all about evolution
Evolution is true but to a certain degree. It is true that we can evolve. Their is evidence of bacteria mutating or animals adapting to there environment, but they certainly do not change species. Their is a good reason why the whole entire scientific community will not except evolution as a proven idea. But only as a Theory.
I'm not about to state my personal beliefs, however, it is my opinion that evolution should be separated from school. There is no need to indoctrinate our children. Do schools teach Christian, Jewish, or Muslim views? I think not. As such, whether or not evolution is based on fact, it is still a belief, and in its own way, a religion.
Some ppl really don't know what they are talking about, and need to get their facts straight.. God doesn't need evolution... Why would he? It doesn't say anything about it in the bible. And its common sense that he wouldn't need it to evolve his already created humans. Also when it comes to teaching people about evolution in schools, it is a proven fact that evolution has little or no proof that we did indeed evolve(honestly do some research). From what I can tell on the page of comments the only person that hasn't been believing everything that they have been taught in school (evolution) and actually prove that what they believed to be correct through actual facts would be 'Bosco3'.
I do because god is the truth.picture this. A random huge explosion comes out of nowhere.. And that forms the earth..? Wow then the japenese formed a lot of worlds when they bombed pearl harbor and caused world war II for crying out loud this huge wonderful world came from somewhere. Stop hideing it you know the truth.
If we evolved to better adapt to our surroundings, why do we die so easily? When its too cold, too hot, even for no reason we die. Why did we evolve to stand upright when it was obviously better and more efficient to stay on all fours?
I think all one has to do is look around, especially at humans, and know that clearly we are the result of intelligent design. No chance happening here, no, impossible. We were perfectly designed.
Yu got it twisted man the thoery of evolution has nothing to do with bacteria mutating are yu serious, bacteria is bacteria, it never changes to a bird or a monkey, it is still bacteria
There's difference between evolution and the creation of matter. Say god made the first atoms, those bonded, formed cells, then started to become 2 cells and so on and so on, until man was evolved. God and evolution can exist at the same time you know. You will never hear an evolutionist say that matter was made out of nothing, but that's not their point either. There was 'something', and that 'something' started to adapt, how that 'something' was here in the first place doesn't really matter, maybe it was God, maybe it was someone else.
Besides, if we really want to go that road... Out of what did God make mankind if there was nothing to begin with? Who made God and why is he here...?
Then another thing, 6000 B.C. , time is relative which is a theory that's well defended by good reasoning (which you can do and understand yourself) by Einstein. So what is 6000 B.C anyways?
Again, lets recapitalize, none of these things prove God does not exist, they support evolutionism whilst not attacking God as a whole, maybe some biblical beliefs.
I myself think it's safer to start from zero, then start reasoning myself from everything that I've heard. Thinking the bible is true and then deriving the whole world around it is halftruth, you can never see the world openly.
Enough about evolution.
Why I don't believe in any religion: The 3 main religions, judaism, islam and christianity all overlap on some points. The Koran has Jesus as a prophet, judaism also has Jesus and there are many more examples. Cristianity was born out of Judaism which is a fact, Jesus being a Jew and all, it makes sense they overlap. All of those 3 religions have nearly the same forefathers, isn't that strange? Maybe they were all the same religion some time way back but started to split then. Catholicism, orthodox christianity, how come they all exist? They're derived from Christianity are they not? Doesn't that mean there are that many religions as there are people that just happen to follow them? (maybe invent them, or just not intentionally...) Rituals are bound to change over time, people not remembering the exact words and stuff, and slowly a new type of church is born, heck this even starts to sound like evolution o.O As an example: Have you, as a child ever played that game where you stood in a circle with a bunch of other people, one person said a phrase, whispered it to the other, and so on until it reached the last person who then said it out loud? The phrase was different, right? But it started out as something different, the 'true' phrase. If you do that for religion rituals, maybe books that are translated and copied, then you have your other religion derived from the 'true' one. Even if God and all exists, it would mean we don't have the 'true' bible anymore and that spooks me. I mean, what's the point to believe it then. So how am I supposed to know which belief is true if they all have so many similarities, so many people following them. All religions have some sort of hell you go to if you don't believe... So do I just have to take my chances and take whatever belief? I see no point... There's as many chance christianity is wrong as judaism and islam are wrong. So chances are I'm going to hell anyways. So why bother? Also: That rule, the Islam says you can't eat pork, you know why? Because back in the days, Pork was the meat that got bad the fastest from laying in the sun. So it wasn't really a religious statement, it was for healthcare. But still.. NOW it doesn't make sense, yet there are thousands of people that still don't eat pork because of a document that was made up years ago, for the wellbeing of the people. Pork is not drying in the sun on a sweaty table somewhere in the middle of the middle east anymore!
Something made the world, and I believe in that 'creature', 'force', name it you like. And that's what I believe in, my reasoning tells me evolution is right so that something created matter and matter began evolving. But I refuse to believe in most other people made out of that, people that started fantasizing about that 'something', the God, writing stuff down, rewriting it, it's bound to be wrong... NOT entirely, but some missing links here and there. I don't believe in derivatives of a true sense. So that's why I only believe in God in it's simplest form the creationist of matter, the building pieces. So don't believe some book, just start from zero... Think for yourself... What does NOT make sense? What is the true question? :what the heck are these frigging atoms doing here and how did they get up here in the first place. Don't believe a pile of words stored in a book that might be as false as the Koran.
Brainwashing has been done before, just watch "The Third Wave". Make out for yourself how much you could've been influenced so far... It's unreal, so start from zero people. Life a happy life, help other people, it's a nice philosophy and besides... That was the whole point of Jesus
Yes if the muslim religion can wear headdresses where hats aren't allowed in schools than the theory of evolution which is a belief not a science should not be allowed to be taught in schools. Many people find it offensive that it is taught in schools. Its a belief and if creationism is taught in school non believers in god, would go to town on the schools.So if evolution which is a belief is taught in the school than shouldn't kids with the christian belief be exempt fro evolution teachings? The answer is yes! Evolution is fake and should not be allowed to poison the mind of kids who's religion is being prosecuted! Stop the teachings of evolution in the school. Stop the teaching in the school. Lets keep the first amendment in the school setting. If your with me reply to this
I agree that evolution is a bunch of bull. I feel this way because, what-we evolved from bacteria or better yet apes. Okay, yeah, that makes a whole lot of sense. We just popped here out of now where. Better yet, some say, we have similar DNA strain as apes, but do we have the same?-NO. Some claim these things, but where did the first one come from? It had to be created. In addition, I also do not believe that the earth has been here for millions of years. Resent studies have show that carbon dating is incorrect. Science is not always as much fact as we would like to believe. We continually go back and change what we believe to be factual because it is discover to be false. We can not be sure that this is the way it all began so why teach about it. If in schools we teach this theory, I cannot understand why we wouldn't teach the theory of God. Or the theory of any possible way we could have gotten here. Whether it involves anyone's God. It doesn't have to be a religious thing. Nevertheless, evolution is simply a belief that this is how we got here, so again, why can't all beliefs be taught. There is no science about it. There is no way we just popped here out of no where. So, in conclusion I believe that my Lord Jehovah created us, in fact, there is no question in my mind, and evolution is an evil way to distract us from the truth.
Anyone ever consider that maybe God created the beginning of our species to let it turn into what it is now? Maybe God wanted evolution? Maybe God intended for us to evolve, to make it on our own. Evolution is a proven scientific knowledge that should be taught in schools. I am not saying you are incorrect in your beliefs...that is why there is religion...for belief and faith. The point of religion isn't fighting. If you believe it isn't right, and you you don't want your child to hear it, go to a private catholic school. If others do not agree with you, they obviously will never change their minds so let them believe in peace. I do believe evolution is real because it is scientifically proven. It is fact. And if you do not agree, I am entitled to my opinion. You need to keep an open mind with science. No matter how many quotes you throw at me, in my opinion evolution is REAL. Think about it.
Hello people, have you lost your mind!?! There is ni overwhelming evidence for evolution. They have none, noob. God created this universe and there is quite a lot of evidence. They just don't want to belive because they don't like god telling them what to do. They want full freedom. Thats why they belive it and thats why they lie to support it and thats why they hate us so much!
