Should Evolution and Creation be Taught in School?

Hello, I have just recently joined evc and I would like to introduce myself along with a new topic. I am a minor, I'm very respectful of all people and different religions, (As my username describes I am studying the philosiphy of Buddhism) and I am given knowledge by my father who posts as Hal_Jordan.New Topic:At school I live everyday hearing someone tell another person about how Christian they are, that they go to church, and speeches of that nature. What I don't here is someone actually trying to back up their beleifs with logic. I just here that "God is the answer." I am not writing this to be disrespectful, but many Christians, especially minors, are uninformed of the actual meanings of their beleifs and practices. Most Christians just believe that the Bible and God are right and that nothing else is right.Because we live in a nation where Christianity is the most practiced beleif, some of my teachers say they are not trying to bring religion into our lives when, in fact, that's exactly what they are doing. I never hear a teacher say a word about evolutionism where I listen to several teachers mention God and creationism. I write this article not to nag, but to make a point. Even though creationism nor evolutionism is not to be taught in the schools, it will always be brought up by the beleifs of certain people.I believe that evolutionism and creationism should not be taught in schools because, all people have different beleifs. People think there is a single creator while others believe that we evolved from primates. I believe they should not be taught because, it will cause less debates and issues in schools. No one will argue over which is right and which is wrong if it isn't taught. Evolution and creation should not be taught because they are controversial.This message has been edited by Finding Nirvana, 02-08-2006 03:58 PMThis message has been edited by Finding Nirvana, 02-08-2006 08:39 PMThis message has been edited by Finding Nirvana, 02-09-2006 05:41 PMThis message has been edited by Finding Nirvana, 02-09-2006 05:47 PM

we start new topics in the Proposed New Topic forum. In addition, the contents of a post should relate to the forum it's in.. In the News is for links to News items.Moving this to PNT.

Thread moved here from the In The News (Creation/Evolution only) forum.

First, check out the word here (hear) and corect those places where it's missused.You also seem to have two topics. First you talk about the professions of the students.Next, you mention You need to provided some reason why you think one or both of those subjects should not be taught in school.You might want to break those into two topics unless you can figure some way to tie the two together.Go back and edit your original post and then reply to me and we'll consider this for promotion. Also, consider which forum you would think it fits best; Education and Creation/Evolution or perhaps Social Issues and Creation/Evolution.This message has been edited by AdminJar, 02-08-2006 11:57 AM

I have edited my post. I'm sorry, I was a little confused. I'm alright now. If I could, I would like it in Education and Creation/Evolution.

Please edit the title to something that more clearly reflects the theme of the topic. "Minor Mishaps" seems pretty meaningless to me.I've only very lightly skimmed message 1, so I leave any evalution of that to other admins.Adminnemooseus
