No no no NO! Only one thing can come from indoctrinating our kids in this "science" mumbo jumbo, and that's a bunch of godless atheist heathens running around doing more experiments and shite. First they took my slaves, then my right to discriminate against homosexuals but they will NOT convince my kids that the earth isn't 6000 years old

Yeah, it was for some small pockets in the state who wish it was still 1850. A lot of home school kids are associated with churches.

Don't ever change, man.

Also, don't ever breed.

Brochacho, evolution and Christianity are not mutually exclusive.

Knock it off with the level headed, reasonable responses. We're trying to do a whole thing here.

Removing God from schools was the worse thing to ever happen to the school system in this country and the test scores and behaviors show it.


So which God are we talking about? You start teaching about one God you have to teach about them all.

One is real, and we can't do anything about the other one.

There's only one God a-hole. He's the all powerful and loving creator of everything and if you don't start showing Him some respect I'll beat your fricking face in.

Perhaps they'll learn enough about genetics from the evolution unit that they will stop procreating with family members.

evolution backed by science

I wholeheartedly agree with teaching evolution in schools, but this statement is ignorant.

this pretty much sums up my opinion on the matter




Ah yes, the quintessential creationist "gotcha" statement. It is easily squashed by a basic understanding of how selective pressures lead to population divergence.

Molecular techniques, like 18s rRNA sequencing, can largely identify which genes we have in common with other organisms. You can actually quantify how far apart various primates have become from one another.

What's next? Teaching kids the sun is the center of the solar system and not Earth?!?

Personally, if evolution is ever proven absolutely true, it will not alter my faith in God as our creator.

I never expected my children to not be taught the theory of evolution in school. However, I did pay for them to attend a private school.

And before flaming my first statement, there is ample scientific dissent from Darwinism,from individuals who have devoted their life to scientific study.

Honestly, I believe total belief in God as the Creator and Darwinism both require the individual to take a leap of faith. So in my humble opinion, those that accept Darwinism as absolute truth but claim Bible believing Christians are ignorant appear to be naively hypocritical.

Why do people use the word Darwinism and what exactly is it? I find that those who use the term usually have little understanding of evolution and science in general.

Darwin postulated a theory, and after Neary two centuries of increasingly advanced study across disciplines, the broad theory has stood the test. Of course, because science is self-correcting, it's been refined and advanced and this will continue.
