I feel it's against God, and sort of racist. So I don't listen to it.
My parents' said I can just walk out of the class if I want.

That's retarded.
Evolution is not a God-killer. It is a simple passing of genetics from one generation to another.
Maybe if you looked at what evolution was about, instead of plugging your ears and saying "I don't need to listen because it's against God!" you may just learn something.

Seraph is right. Sometimes it's better to listen and learn. I'm not saying what you're doing is wrong, because I did it too - but if you learn about this, then you can officially protest against it without looking stupid - because you'll know what you're talking about. Trust me, I've been in your shoes. I got five days lunch detention for insubordination because I didn't pay attention in class when my teacher taught evolution. However, you teacher is an authority that God has put you under, and so you must obey them. If you don't want to listen that's fine, but just amke sure you respect your teacher - because not doing so is against God as well.
I won't say I suport Evolution, because I don't, it's rather stupid. however evolution is correct in one sense - things do change over time to adapt to their surroundings. Just look at people with darker skin pigments, they have those because the region their ancestors (or they themselves) are from had a lot of sun. However I do not believe that this took millions of years and I do not believe that we share a common ancestor with apes. No austrolopithicus for me. God made the world in six days, and the rest is the ability He gave our bodies to adapt to their surroundings in order to survive.

i agree with them...Evolution itself is not a bad thing. it is just a change that takes place over time. however Evolution Theory is the one that isn't correct in it's teaching, but that doesn't mean you should not learn about it. it is good for us to learn about other position b/c if we want to be able to say something against it we need to know what we're talking about before we do other wise you just look like an idiot running their mouth to get attention

Evolution is actually a real thing, and a fact. Deal with it. While you may not accept it as the origins of life (and that's fine), it is currently in play in TODAY's world.
Even if you believe in creationism, you have to admit the world is at least 6,000 years old. Evolution has been proven with in that time to have created at least a few new species. Most notable is the mule, who's origins were at first wild, but have since been created (in nature at first, and then later, by humans who cross-bread horses and donkeys). Since horses have 64 chromosomes, while donkeys have 62, a mule has 63 which leaves it almost always sterile. Not all of them are, however - there's been several recorded instances of mules being able to reproduce with other mules. Evolution at work right there, in the fact that this new species was created, and even though it usually can't reproduce, has survived. There are several other examples of cross-breeding which have produced new species, and some of them have developed new traits neither the original animals had.
So at the very least, evolution plays an important part in what's going on in the world today. Maybe you don't believe it to be the origin of life on Earth, and hey, to each his own. Evolutionism obviously doesn't agree with creationism, and I have no solid proof for you that one is right over the other as for the way the world came into existence. However, looking at today's world, and, of what we know of the world for as long as we agree it has been around, you will see proof of evolution with in that time frame. The two ideas can coexist at least that way, and thus, should be reason enough to learn about them. Not to mention, it'll still be on the test.

When I was in science class, I listened to the teacher, took notes on Darwin, and did everything.
The teacher could not say I had done anything wrong.
However, when he handed out homework, tests, quizzes, ect. I answered them the way I wanted to.
The way I believed.
One of the questions was about what breed of monkey did we most likely descend from and I answered "No breed of monkey, man was made from dust and breathed into being by God." then I put down a Bible verse from Genesis.
After class the teacher asked to talk to me during lunch, for me to bring lunch to his class and we'd eat together.
So I did and we sat down and talked.
He said he respected my beliefs and he wouldn't give me a bad grade on the test and I wouldn't get suspended but instead he'd question me on the things I believed in and he'd grade me that way.
Everything went perfectly fine and a couple of days later we moved on to disecting worms.
I didn't make bad grades, I didn't get suspended, & I gained ALOT of respect from him.
I suggest you do it that way, it doesn't harm anyone and God is not forgotten.
Good luck, I'll be praying.

I agree, that you should still listen to what it's all about because evolution doesn't just involve the big bang and apes evolving into humans. You might find some interesting and helpful things. Besides, how can you be against something that you don't really know? On the other hand, i do understand how you would like to stay away. I'm just saying that studying evolution might be beneficial, you're not loosing anything by doing it. biggrin

Remember that not even we as christians know "how" god made the universe and its creatures. It is entirely possible that evolution did happen, at the same time, some scientists try to take God out of evolution, that is wrong. I don't believe in Macro Evolution myself( sorry, big jumps, too little evidence ) but I do believe in Micro Evolution, where animals adapt in time periods not long but not short either and they don't "completely" change either, they just gain something or lose something.

Night WingsFtty divineseraph Maybe if you looked at what evolution was about, instead of plugging your ears and saying "I don't need to listen because it's against God!" you may just learn something. It is against God, it is against the Bieble. If you agree with evolution, what are you doing on a Christian forum? actually like CCube said...we don't know exactly how God created the universe...it just tells us that he did. evolution could have happened in a form....maybe not to the extent that it believed today by most Scientist. i personally don't believe in human evolution...but as for other animals...it could very much be possible. it doesn't go Against what the Bible says b/c the bible is not specific on that topic....

you beat me to it divineseraph Evolution is not a God-killer. It is a simple passing of genetics from one generation to another. exactly, quite being an idiot, and learn something. science does fit a long with the bible you tard divineseraph Maybe if you looked at what evolution was about, instead of plugging your ears and saying "I don't need to listen because it's against God!" you may just learn something. Agreed Night WingsFtty I feel it's against God, and sort of racist. So I don't listen to it. But you wouldn't know, your being too immature, and need to pull your head out of your a** to even know ifs its "racist"? (and its not ******** racism) Night WingsFtty My parents' said I can just walk out of the class if I want. Then they are helping you add to the population of Christians that need to be shot. I mean, Christians wouldn't get such a bad rap, if you were to be an open minded person, without your head shoved so far up your a**, you will get pissy by reading this. A quick question, how old are you? 8?

stopthebanningplease Night WingsFtty divineseraph Maybe if you looked at what evolution was about, instead of plugging your ears and saying "I don't need to listen because it's against God!" you may just learn something. If you agree with evolution, what are you doing on a Christian forum? Please prove to me that Genesis is literal. that's the same as saying prove that we really exist...from our stand point it can't really be done. but it is by faith that we accept that it that it is, that the creation and judgments and mercies of God happened in the way that they happened according to His word. and in light of God's word, which is the Ultimate Truth, our own opinions and theories about what is real or not are irrelevant. we can only take guesses...and not very educated ones at the b/c of the limited insight we have into the supernatural and the nature of who God is. it is not something that someone can prove or disprove.

It is against God, it is against the Bible. If you agree with evolution, what are you doing on a Christian forum? "This guild is for Christians and non-Christians alike. If you're simply curious about Christianity, then feel free to stop in. We welcome everyone! " ummm, stop talking. you are telling him he doesn't belong here if he believes in evolution? if your not going to accept, LIKE GOD SAYS TO, then you should leave. your being "all god like", and dont want to learn about evolution, yea, but your just being lazy, because now, your being a b***h. not acceptable to god Edit: and by being a b***h that you are being, i meant non accepting, and lazy
