Welcome to Gaia! ::

I heard in some places they've decided to not teach the laws of Charles Darwin and evolution. What are your thoughts on this, and do you agree? o_o

this is true, somne places are teaching the creationism theory and such in schools instead, and naturally, hat happened? rebellion i say! rebellion! check this out:

im sorry to cite wikipedia, but this happened in 2005 so it died down a bit, so i couldnt find the exact page i first read about it, but this is accurate as compared to hat i read back in 2005 lol. u should get a kick outta this.

I dunno if this is true, but one of my good friends mentioned that in some of the Southern states they're thinking of banning the teaching of evolution. I don't think this is positive, but if this was true wouldn't that mean that fundamentalism is becoming more popular?

And! yeah that flying spaghetti monster... LOL uhm..ramen? :3

I think the thoughts of Evolution as a whole have too many holes in their arguments,so before further teaching these ideas should be further reorganized, and more and more evidence is being found for intelligent design so I think both should be taught as ideas about world and life origins unless one can be fully proven or disproven.

People shouldn't make such a big stink over whether or not evolution and creationism should be taught in schools.

By my way of thinking, evolution can be scientificly proven to be correct, therefore, there should be no debate on whether or not to teach it in science classes.

Conversely, creationism can not be proven, therefore it should stay out of public schools, unless in a class in which ALL religious views on the creation of organisms is discussed.

Obviously, if it's a private school, they can do what they please, however, as far as public schools go, this should not even be debated. Religion has no place in public schools unless ALL religions are being taught about in correctly designated classes, such as social studies, and even then, the students should only be taught the basics of each religion.

As evolution has been proven countless times in myriad instances, of course it should be taught.

What kind of question is that?

I think this is absolutely ludicrous, though unfortunately it is indeed happening more and more often.

Personally I believe school and religion should be kept separate.
Darwin’s theory is a big part of science today and if youths don’t properly study it in middle and high school they’ll have difficulties in college and later on in life.
Also they don’t have to believe it. If certain children have religious problems, well then that’s more of a reason to learn about it. Then they wont sound like complete idiots saying how they don’t believe in something they know nothing about.


P.S. Pastafarianism is awesome
