<p>No it should not be taught because of separation of church and state.</p>
<p>Theory used in science is different than the every day meaning you and I use.</p>
<p>If it’s not a public school, they can do whatever the hell they want, no?</p>
<p>Even private schools need accreditation.</p>
<p>No, gravity is not a theory. The Theory of Gravity is a theory. Who’re you gonna believe? Me or Wikipedia?</p>
<p>Don’t answer that</p>
<p>This discussion is too one-sided. Someone should side with ID just to make things a little more interesting :P</p>
<p>^ Intelligent design should be taught in public schools because my religion teacher says it’s supported by science.</p>
<p>what are some challenging questions that i could ask someone who supports teaching ID along side evolution? this is really challenging for me for some reason…</p>
<p>No. However, living in the Bible Belt, it’s allowed and it is very frustrating hearing both ignorant students and teachers implore that God is the answer to anything and everything. My sophomore year in Biology Honors was Hell during the Evolution chapter. Every 5 minutes, a student would shoot up with a question about how “God plays in,” and from there the rest of the lesson would be centered around God.</p>
<p>my freshmen biology class was filled with a bunch of seniors who were a little…challenged, so these kinds of questions never popped up. i’m taking ap biology right now, and still…no one asks about these kind of things.</p>
<p>Even though evolution is very contradicting in itself (read Darwin’s Black Box-very eye-opening) the thing I don’t understand is mutation in evoultion. Most than most of the time, mutations are harmful and detrimental. If that single “1” was brought up and added to in natural selection, it would take longer than the billions of years evo’s propose. It’s like a climber going down 999 times, just to go up once. It makes no sense.</p>
<p>I believe in creationism but I think it should be taught in social studies classes rahter than science. Its not very scientific at all</p>
<p>bumppppppppppppppppp</p>
<p>Hahaha OP with the bump. You know very well the answer to this question; you just want to provoke arguments and get lots of posts in your topic. You’re sneaky, but I… I’m on to you.</p>
<p>(No. Hell no.)</p>
<p>tofugirl101: “the thing I don’t understand is EVERYTHING in evolution.”</p>
<p>Fixed for you.</p>
<p>tofugirl101, I’m going to be kind to you. Read [An</a> Index to Creationist Claims](<a href=“http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/list.html]An”>An Index to Creationist Claims) it deals with most objections. For example, you say;</p>
<p>“Most than most of the time, mutations are harmful and detrimental”</p>
<p>it deals with it over here [CB101:</a> Most mutations harmful?](<a href=“http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB101.html]CB101:”>CB101: Most mutations harmful?)</p>
<p>Also, please don’t bring up that disgraceful book darwin’s black box. Irreducible complexity is absolutely ********. watch [YouTube</a> - Irreducible complexity cut down to size](<a href=“Irreducible complexity cut down to size - YouTube”>Irreducible complexity cut down to size - YouTube) or go and look up the claim on that website I linked.</p>
<p>Going to appeal to authority, but why is it there are no biologist refuting evolution (Behe isn’t a biologist)?</p>
<p>I don’t believe in evolution on the grounds that it is biology and therefore ********.</p>
<p>Thanks Xenophanes. I’m looking at all the links now. This has inspired me to look at evolution and creationism more deeply. :)</p>
<p>Because only dumb people become biologists.</p>
