Since when on earth did Evo theory become fact!? There is plenty of scientific, and common sense evidence to point towards creation.....but I get it, you are allowed to choose whats healthy for my kids because its not religious.
​
That Evolution happened is more than a theory, it is as close to fact as science can ever come.
​
The Theory of Evolution is the ONLY model that has been presented that explain what is seen. There is no model of "Creation" that has been presented that explains anything.
​
There simply is no "Creation Science". It is an oxymoron.

Re: Religious indoctrination
Let me tell you this........you say we are teaching children to be deliberately ignorant of the world, I say we are teaching them to have peace on there death bed......Yet you want them to be scratching, and clawing for every last minute of life they can get because of the fear of death. Being a Christian, offers a sense of peace on any deathbed.
​
And of course, nothing in science has anything to do with Christian beliefs.
​
The question is where do YOU draw the line? Anything that interferes in a conversation I have with my children at the dinner table is something that should NEVER be tought in public schools.
​
Nonsense. Your dinner conversations are NOT in anyway protected. In fact the very purpose of education is so that your children can learn to think for themselves and challenge, even criticize, your beliefs.

Re: Evidence please
But my bible teaches of a great flood......and I see the grand canyon a result of an enormous flood of the earth, not a gentle carving over millions of years because many rivers that exist today could possibly be just as old, but will never carve a canyon like that. And im not a specialist in rocks, aren't many layers of the grand canyon really hard rock?? Wouldn't an enormours flood of water be needed to carve it?
​
However I can offer you pretty conclusive proof that there was never a Biblical Flood and that the Grand Canyon cannot be the result of a Biblical Flood.
​
Those two are very easy, the first (that the Biblical Flood never happened) can be covered in just one message, the later can be explored at Exploring the Grand Canyon, from the bottom up.

Re: Evidence please
On the contrary, the reason science doesn't reason with Christians is because it is something you feel & experience.
​
Again, that is simply NOT true.
​
The majority of Christians do acknowledge that Evolution is a fact and that the Theory of Evolution is the ONLY model that there is to explain the variety of life we see about us.
​
You can speak for YOUR beliefs or even for the beliefs of YOUR chapter of Club Christian but do not presume to speak for GOD or for Christianity.
​
In the words of the Clergy Project Letter:
​
quote:
We believe that the theory of evolution is a foundational scientific truth, one that has stood up to rigorous scrutiny and upon which much of human knowledge and achievement rests. To reject this truth or to treat it as one theory among others is to deliberately embrace scientific ignorance and transmit such ignorance to our children. We believe that among God’s good gifts are human minds capable of critical thought and that the failure to fully employ this gift is a rejection of the will of our Creator. To argue that God’s loving plan of salvation for humanity precludes the full employment of the God-given faculty of reason is to attempt to limit God, an act of hubris.
