Sconzey Ok why don't you inform us of what the scientific method is?Then you can us tell just exactly what is The Theory of Creation and how it squares with the evidence.Do you even know what is meant by the theory of evolution because I'll bet you do not.

Sconzey If I may I would like to paraphrase a physicist on the point of the use of odds. "Today on the way over here I saw a most remarkable thing.I saw the license plate number FKM-587. Calculate for me the odds,out of all the possible license plates,of my seeing that particular one." I would like to see if you can show us the math and the answer as I have often wondered how large a number that would be.

Re: Why not?

That would be fine and dandy except where do you draw the line? If we open the door to one in a democratic nation we must allow for all viewpoints to be taught.

Re: Why not?
TruthDetector
Why not make a seperate religious course to offer at the schools as an elective,hell even as a requirement? Then either,in an elective, the choice can be up to the student/parent or,as a requirement,the teachers can allow open discussion and debate against the hard questions.But it does not belong in a science class as it is not science.

I want my belief in schools is because I believe it to be truth
So by that logic may we come to your church and teach evolution?
