Should we teach both evolution and religion in school?

Why?The purpose of an education is not to learn what you want to learn or what your parents want you to learn, it is to learn in particular what others don't want you to learn. Education is to learn how to challenge ideas, think critically, test your beliefs.

Utter nonsense. There is no such thing as "The Bible". There is not even a cohesive list of what should be included and excluded. Anyone making a claim that there is is either severely ignorant or a liar.In addition the Bible (any canon) is filled with inconsistencies, factual errors and contradictions. Bullshit. Not only are there no identifiable future prophecies but most past prophecies failed. Of course, thank God. Until you bring verifiable evidence of a non-natural event you should exclude it from consideration.

Just as you outlined.

For example, consider the creationist claim that there are no beneficial mutations. But there are. So the teacher says ... what? "There are no beneficial mutations, yes there are". Then a kid raises his hand ... "Please, Miss, which of those mutually contradictory statements is true?" And the teacher has to say "The second one".

​

Or "The second law of thermodynamics says that evolution is impossible no it doesn't." ... "Archaeopteryx is a completely modern bird no it isn't" ... "The theory of evolution says everything happened by random chance no it doesn't" ... and so forth. And each time the students are going to ask which is true and learn that the creationists are talking nonsense.

The teacher should then go on to point out that scientists supporting creationism are all liars.

I doubt the kids would be claiming to be scientists.

Can you read? Of course and it is even vaguely possible that there might be a Creationist who is simply ignorant and delusional and not a liar; but that is totally unrelated to what I said.Please actually go back and try to read what I wrote this time.

It's clear that you can not or more likely will not read.What you posted is unrelated to anything I said and I never suggested teachers should say the pastors are liars.Go back and learn to actually read what was written.

Finally a glimmer of evidence that you MIGHT be able to read.You finally included the word scientist in your response.That is key to you beginning to understand what I am saying.Creationists may not be lying, they may be brain washed, willfully ignorant, delusional, even just plain wrong.However a Creationist who claims to be a scientist is by definition a liar.Edited by jar, : appalin spallin

When folk continue to misrepresent what I say I try to help them correct their errors.

Of course they are and it has nothing to do with religion and so the Constitution has no bearing.Try thinking.

Utter bullshit and idiocy. Please provide a model and method for an flood sorting in that way.

I am familiar with the nonsense and bullshit proposed by Creationists. Perhaps you might have something better than their absurdities and lies.They count on the wilful ignorance of creationists to get by with such con jobs.Can you do better?

So instead of providing a model or method as expected you simply try to palm the pea.That is normal from the Christian Cult of Ignorance.

Sorry but once again that is just nonsense.What flood model can account for the layers found at Dover sorted by species?

So you admit that there is currently no flood model that can explain the Dover cliffs.But that is just one very small proof that the Biblical floods never happened; there are a couple hundred years worth of other such proofs.

But my opinion related to the Biblical flood is not opinion but conclusion supported by over 200 years of evidence.You are free to believe that one of the Biblical floods happened but in doing so you are simply incorrect.
