Shaaban Fundi,
Going through the articles regarding creationism vs evolution has made me aware of the existence of the great debate that is boiling between the creationists and the evidence based supporters of the evolution process. I understand the fear that is held by the creationists about evolution and the significant challenge it possess to the creation only idea. As a science instructor representing the larger scientific community in a classroom, I feel that curriculum decisions based on the belief of creationism have no place in determining science standards.
To me, science is a particular way of knowing about the world. In science, explanations are limited to those based on observations and experiments that can be substantiated by other scientists. Explanations that cannot be based on empirical evidence are not a part of science. Thus, creationism, that provides explanations based on faith and not on empirical evidence has no part in science and no part in the science classroom.
Moreover, progress in science consists of the development of better explanations for the causes of natural phenomena. Scientists never can be sure that a given explanation is complete and final. Some of the hypotheses advanced by scientists turn out to be incorrect when tested by further observations or experiments. Yet many scientific explanations have been so thoroughly tested and confirmed that they are held with great confidence. The theory of evolution is one of these well-established explanations. An enormous amount of scientific investigation since the mid-19th century has converted early ideas about evolution proposed by Darwin and others into a strong and well-supported theory. Today the theory of evolution has become the bedrock of modern biology and is universally accepted by scientists as the engine for speciation.
However, creationists in their bid to get equal time in the science classroom, deliberately mislead the public by trying to present evolution as a controversial theory. I simply don’t understand why it is that today, more than 150 years after Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, we are still fighting over evolution. The Catholic Church has endorsed evolution; every competent biologist relies on its theoretical framework; and its mechanism and its consequences have been thoroughly documented. The theory of evolution has become the central unifying concept of biology and is a critical component of many related scientific disciplines. In contrast, the claims of creation science lack empirical support and cannot be meaningfully tested. These observations lead to two fundamental conclusions: the teaching of evolution should be an integral part of science instruction, and creation science is in fact not science and should not be presented as such in science classes.
The claim that equity demands balanced treatment of evolutionary theory and special creation in science classrooms reflects a misunderstanding of what science is and how it is conducted. Scientific investigators seek to understand natural phenomena by observation and experimentation. Scientific interpretations of facts and the explanations that account for them therefore must be testable by observation and experimentation.
Creationism, intelligent design, and other claims of supernatural intervention in the origin of life or of species are not science because they are not testable by the methods of science. These claims subordinate observed data to statements based on authority, revelation, or religious belief. Documentation offered in support of these claims is typically limited to the special publications of their advocates. These publications do not offer hypotheses subject to change in light of new data, new interpretations, or demonstration of error. This contrasts with science, where any hypothesis or theory always remains subject to the possibility of rejection or modification in the light of new knowledge.
No body of beliefs that has its origin in doctrinal material rather than scientific observation, interpretation, and experimentation should be admissible as science in any science course. Incorporating the teaching of such doctrines into a science curriculum compromises the objectives of public education. Science has been greatly successful at explaining natural processes, and this has led not only to an increased understanding of the universe but also to major improvements in technology and public health and welfare. The growing role that science plays in modern life requires that science, and not religion, be taught in science classes.
I am not advocating that students not have the right to believe in creationism. I am simply arguing that in the science classroom students be allowed to explore the truth about their own origin and the origin of their universe based on scientifically collected and proven evidence. In the science classroom, we teach students that all good science is based on the scientific method. Based on this method, we form hypothesis that we later test with experimentation. The evolutionary theory has undergone much experimentation over the past 150 years since Darwin first outlined his theory and for the most part this experimentation has upheld his ideas. Creationism, however, by its very nature, resists attempts to explore its validity using the scientific method. It is impossible to test this theory using experimentation. Thus, I believe that it has no place in the science classroom. I have no problems with it being taught as part of religious instruction or even in a philosophy class. However, I do not think it belongs in a science classroom simply because we cannot use scientific tools to understand and explore the idea.
I strongly reject the Creationists’ claim that if one believes that the theory of evolution is true then one necessarily must believe that there is no God, no meaning or purpose to life, and thus no moral accountability. This statement is completely wrong due to the fact that believing in evolution and believing in God are not mutually exclusive beliefs. The dilemma creationists have for themselves of being unable to reconcile science and religion should not be imposed upon the rest of world populous, and particularly not on educational systems. The courts have consistently ruled that “creation science” is actually a religious view. Because public education must be religiously neutral under the U.S. Constitution, the courts have held that it is unconstitutional to present creation science as legitimate scholarship. I believe that these court rulings should be upheld and creation science kept out of science instruction in the public education system.
Over the past 50 years, our world has become increasingly more technological and the need for students to understand scientific principles has become increasingly more important. If we want our public school students to compete on a global level it is essential that we teach them sound scientific principles and keep creationism out of the science classroom.
Nice Post!
i, myself really injoy reading articles. In this article it takes alot of thinking. Science is the study on evolution and the way this adapt, right? So how would u discribe creationism? Can scientist create a new substance? Wouldn’t that be the samething?
i personally do not care, we need to learn about both situations,and if your religious then you will believe creationism & if you are not then you will believe evolution.
cool story bro.
creationism is based off of peoples person feelings and belives in thier religions , while evolution is sicentificly prooven. nither can acutually be prooven right or wrong. Im in the middle in what i believe because both seem like a good ideas.
It’s a great article to keep us read it for a while
, and it’s interesting.
abigail h…. i think that the creationist is most importent instead of evolution … my thought is if u have feith based in your religion everything is going to be alright because i evolution is what is making the planet distroy its self
The belief of whether evolution or religion is what brought people to existence should be part of the ones who choose to make either of those statement true. I for one complete agree that in a class room one must be open minded to and first listen to what the instructor has to lecture about evolution but should not be limited to believing that all is true if he/she has faith in their own religion. Most people in the world believe that evolution was not the was in which we all came to be. Why? Well for one; many are raised to believe in a certain religion from a very young age and for most of their lives that what they grow to believe in.
NICE ARTICLE IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN STAY INFORMED..
Creationism is something that some of us learn since they are a child(religion). Evolutionism is related to science, which means something that we learn at school. I agree that we must keep creationism out of the science class, which doesn’t means that we can’t talk about it anywhere else. we will always have people that believe in creationism and other that believe in revolution, but hey, this is what makes the world go farther…By the way, creationism and evolution were already in this world before we were born. So we don’t really know if their ideas are right or wrong.
I think that the creationist is most importent instead of evolution .My thought is if u have feith based in your religion everything is going to be alright because i evolution is what is making the planet distroy its self.
How is evolution making the planet destroy itself? can you elaborate on that!
Creationist Creationist Creationist !!! I agree with that if u were religious u would too. You would be alright if u stick wit creationist . no comment for evolution.
I personally think that both are crazy and I do not believe in either one at all. But if I had to choose one it would be creationist because the evolution theory is ridiculous. No one “knew” what was going to happen and who knows if all these scientific evolution theories are right, like who approved it to say it’s right or not! Creationist all the way because I have more cons for evolution!
Do you care to mention the CONS of evolution as you know them?
I personally think that creationism is based off of peoples person feelings and belives in thier religions or what we learned as a child, and while evolution is scientifically proven or what we learn in school. Both creationism and evolution are neither proven right or wrong or we don’t really know peoples ideas if they are right or wrong.
Really?
OK, so, I know you that don’t really want anything about religion to be affected in the science classroom, but in reality, there isn’t really proof that Evolution has occurred. Now, I am not saying that there is proof in the religion perspective. I believe that God has created everything for reason. How can we really believe Charles Darwin? So, because he wrote a book, I am suppose to believe that evolution has happened? I don’t think so. I strongly oppose to the exploring “of the origin of the student”. I believe that my origin is from God period. I’ve always thought that the talk of evolution are just people that don’t believe in God that have always wanted to change the perspective on the outlook of the people that do believe in God, then again that is my look upon it. I have always liked and hated this topic. Like because it gives me more reasons why I shouldn’t believe in evolution, nothing will ever change my mind on that. Most of the people that I have this conversation with is very rare that I ever get a firm yes or no, I would usually get a “I don’t know”, “both” etc. I usually tell the person that says ‘both’ to explain themselves, usually what I would get is something like because they believe in The Holy Bible, and because if we evolved from Apes then are Apes going to reach a point in their lives where they are going to magically turn into humans. Plus, there really isn’t proof such as fossils and bones and such to prove that evolution has happened. Just saying.
I believe as the creationists do. This is based on my religion. Yes, I will say that those who believe in evolution have went through a great deal of trouble to prove so, but like i said before, based on my religion I believe as the creationists do. The creationist explanation just has a more logical explanation. Evolution is basically The Big Bang Theory…………how can that possibly be believable?
I know that we are not suppose to bring the religion into this, but because of my religion I am going to bring it up because that is just how much taht I respect my religion!
I don’t know what happen to my other post that I typed up that it happen to have disappeared and I don’t know how to bring it back up so I am just going to sum up what I had typed up earlier.
I do NOT believe in evolution because there is no proof that Apes really transform themselves into humans?
So, because Charles Darwin wrote a book about evolution I am suppose to believe that, no that isn’t how it’s going to work with me. I am just going to say that there is no proof that evolution has happened with Apes nor with humans.
There aren’t fossils or bones or anything to prove any of that!
Who taught you that APES evolved into humans? That is a misconception many people have regarding evolution. Evolution is based on natural selection. You might need to read more about natural selection and that will help you in understanding evolution.
i think evolution is a good theory. but our parents has involved us of god since we were little. thats what we have believe in creationism since little but as we get older our diffrent understanding change. i think if there was a start there must be an end and god will make that choice
Many children and teens dont really believe in the evolution theory because of the way that they were taught. parents tend to explain to their children the evolutionary theory in a religious way. They tend to explain this to them in this matter because in science there is no god, but many people do believe in evolution as well as creationsim.
I believe it is up to the person as to what they want to believe. Neither can be proven yet, so it really is up to the person and how they feel about the topic. Scientist have been working hard to prove the evolution theory, but until they do it is hard to believe the theory, Most people are taught by religion about creationism and that’s why I think more people believe in it.
I agree with your logic of the entire creationism topic and how it isn’t as legit as the whole evolution method. I also agree that it shouldn’t be taught in school because it is religion related. Awesome article!
i think these article is really awesome and interesting. i personally think that we should still be informed about both.
I believe that a person is entitled to their own belief, so its really up to them what they want to believe. I believe as the creationists do which is based on my religion. To me, the people who believe in evolution have had a harder time trying to prove the theory. So that’s why I think more people believe in creationism.
If you read my article correctly you will find that I don’t argue against people believing or learning creationism ideas. My argument is merely based on where that learning/teaching should occur. My views are that, it should happen somewhere but the science classroom. The science classroom should retain its euthenticity based on the scientific theory based on empirical evidence rather than spiritual beliefs.
The creationism vs. evolution controversy or shall say debate , has been a recurring cultural, and political, dispute about the origins of the Earth, humanity, and life. This is basically stating the differences between people values and on religious beliefs. Its debate is mainly on the aspects of science and religion , and how its portrayed.
This is mainly based on people’s values and religious beliefs. Also whether or not it is related too science . I don’t believe that people can one day come up with a theory that will affect the whole world.
Creationism is mote realated to a persons own beliefs. When science is the truth or desire to learn the truth.
Well i feel it depends on the person you are talking to. People were brought up different ways. Creationism is based off of what people feel and how they were taught to feel. Evolution is closely proven to be true. But not yet. Personally i dont really care. Most teens my age wont normally argue on this topic. Most parents proably taught their children to believe in the evolution theory becuase of what they were taught and their religious ways. But like i stated earlier in this short paragraph i dont really care, both ideas sound pretty good to me. Oh by the way really good article
Creationism is ridiculous
I completely agree with the theory of evolution. I don’t want to learn about Christianity in my Chemistry class, its unrelated. I like this article, I have the same views.
slash religion.
This argument between evolutionist and creationist could go on for ever. In creationist they believe that everything was created for a purpose and it might well have been but there is no scientific evidence to support such an outrageous statement. Evolutionist is a mu h more…. Practical way to explain the being of earth and everything in and on it. So that is what I think
I think, conflicts between Evolution and Creationism occur when supporters of either view criticize the other. Evolutionists argue that creationism is not a scientific theory because it cannot be tested by the scientific method, whereas creationists argue that evolutionists do not take God into account and that evolution is just a theory rather than a fact.
We need both of them infact..
Kiera Baul…<3 On all levels i think this is an insperational but also imaginative article to think that creaionism vs the original method of evolution is an legit battle. I completely agree with the laws and methods of the original method of evolution inclding scientific method so only because its all we have ever known and the only thing that is actually testable(data wise). With the creationism aspects, too many of your own morals and beliefs get involved and that doesnt belong in an science classroom. Here's one last thing to think about….Would you want science and everyday you step into the classroom your own beiefs tested to the point where you dont even know what you believe? Personally, thats not science, thats a weird kinda church sermon.
I believe that evolution is a theroy and not a fact. One of my reasonings behind this is because Iam a religious person and I believe in it deeply. I also believe that we have this conflict because they judge each other in there beliefs.
I personally Think that its up to what people want to think. I think young people will believe in evolution because that what they were taught. And creatisum is something the religion wants you to believe .
I think the evolution should be taught in public schools and if any catholic parents have a problem, they should withdraw their student from public school in stead of causing problems.
I think evolution can be taught in schools but it’s not something a personally believe in. I know there are many scientific theories for how things got here by I don’t think it should be pushed down the throats of young people.
I believe that we should go by creationism in our schools. Our Pleage of Allegience of our nation saids that we are one nation under God. No matter what God each student worships, we are a perfect creation of that God. There is no scienctific prove of either theory, you must trust faith.
i think it is a great artlcle about the creation and evolution i thing that these should be taught in public schools and it was amazing to read
Through the belifes of Darwin and his scientific theory many religous people dont believe in this simply because we believe in God, therfore he created mankind, Darwin’s theory’s are very untrusted from christion schools because they are religious and believe god is the creater.
With a religous problem through schools parents should just remove their child from that accompanying school if its a huge problem.

sorry I didnt know were to put my name at, by accedent I it was left as tyler the creater above this comment.
i think that they should keep the evoltion in science class rooms. not all creation u should beleive i beleieve the theory of evolution it half true and half not true that people should believe them. it up to the person believes all around it was a good artilce to read andvery intresting.
I think that both are wrong because no one can explain how we just magically popped up out of nowhere and no one can explain how we evolved from chimps because if we came from them then where did they come from.
who told you that we came from chips?
I beleve in evolution. There is a missing link in the evolution of us.But I beleve it is how we started and how God probably created us all starting from the big bang. Some people may be creeped out by the idea we all came from the same microorganism and that we share common ancestry with monkeys. I personally think it is interesting. I don’t really see why it is such a large debate though. People can think whatever they want.
I am personally caught in the middle of both. Though I am leaning more towards creationism, I’m not saying I do not believe in evolution, but I do believe in micro-evolution.
I think its all evolution i mean im not religious so i have a hard time believing god made us. Regardless of my beliefs we should be taught both sides of the fence. Evolution is scientifically proven and there is yet to be scientific proof of a god
I believe in god yes but i also partly believe in evolution. i agree with certain things on both sides. This article was good cause i got a chance to really learn about both.
Personally i think that it all depends on the person and what they believe in, but i believe that either could be true because i do believe in a higher power, but i also believe in evidence and that everything is here and is made for a reason. So therefore i am more so in the middle on the whole evolution vs. creationists.
I believe that evolution is correct. Evolution has been scientifically proven many times over the years. While, creationism has never been proven. Creationism is just a belief, and without proof it can never be accepted as truth. Since evolution is a scientifically proven event, everyone should follow it.
I belive that that this topic shouldn’t really be taught in school because one way or another it has to invovle religion and it depends what peoples belief are. It all depends if people belive in creationim or evolution.
I wish that I could have a set belief of either creationism or evolution, but I don’t and I’ll explain why. I was born and raised as a Christian in my family; the belief that God created human beings, plants, animals, just basically everything in the universe was pinned in my mentality for the longest time, until I reached about 14 years old. Although I never spoke of it with my parents (they are biased, devout Christians), I’ve had conversations about this many times with my peers. My friends have given valid scientific arguments as to why the theory of evolution is more realistic, but the fact that I go to church most Sundays out of the year is why I cannot fully have the complete scientific perspective.
I Think This Is A Good Article
- Dechard
I have no Religion but I still believe in god, but from time to time I have questions about god that can’t be respond. I agree with you, Religion should not be in a science class because it has absolutely nothing to do with it.
My personal opinion is that Evolution is scientifically correct, but some people have a different route of beliefs. Some people will turn to religion & other will believe that creationism is how we became. So I’d have to be in the middle because neither side can be proven.
I am a Christian. My belief in God is strong, and though the supernatural occurrence of creationism has no physical evidence, I think it’s the way we were all created. To be honest, both theories don’t have much evidence to support them, but when it comes down to my faith, creationism is the way to go. By the way, I’m Ulises from you’re 3rd period class Mr. Fundi.
My beliefs are mixed and complicated. I do not strongly believe in God, jhowever i do believe that there are many things in this world that go unexplained and simply exist. On the other hand, i believe that science does proove that some of these things do or do not exist. I also aree with Mr. Fundi that simply because you believe, and support in finding in this case, that one does not believe in God. Everybody has their own thoughts that makes sense to them, desite how contridictionary it is to others.
*however
*despite
It is said that man and animals were created by a super being, many people believe that but what about microrganisms or and other living things such as that. It is a very touchy subject that will be debated as long as man exists.
People’s feelings and faith is what creationism is based on. Evolution, on the other hand, is proven by science itself. Neither creationism nor evolution can be proven correct or incorrect. I’m not quite sure which one I would side with for the moment. They both seem like good theories.
I strongly agree with this. Evolution has been proven countless amount of times as where creationism has not. I depends on the person if religious or not.
Kaelyn Mcmichael : I Think This Is A Good Article , I Feel Religion Shouldnt Be Apart Of Science & It Makes Me Question Scientist & Their Theories
this is a great website mr fundi and this article is really intresting . you should write more stuff.
shay reid
i do strongly believe in God, jhowever i do believe that there are many things in this world that go unexplained and do exist in this world
I personally think there have no right or wrong answer for creationism vs. evolution. Maybe god created monkey than monkey changed to human.
Good article but not a fan of the whole eveloution theory. But it is a pretty interesting theory that will continue to be debated
I only believe in Creationism because of the faith I choose to beleave in. I don’t believe in Evolution because it is based on archaeologist’s ridiculous views on how the world is what it is today. They say that their findings are proven but everything they say sounds like a whole lot of bull considering they say that human beens come from apes.
-Ashley Smith
I agree that evolution should be taught in schools and creationism should not be taught. Creationism forms a lot of controversy around religious things and in public schools they should not be touched on because students have strong opinions influenced by others or their parents. I have noticed that evolution has not efficiently been touched on in schools because several people think of evolution as the change from an animal to a human and there is much more observation behind it.
i’m in the middle of both sides. however if the student is willing to learn i believe both sides should be taught. it shouldn’t be mandatory(?) but students should have the choice to choose which one they want to learn about and which one they believe in
actually i agree with Kimberly M up there.really cool article need more like this.;)
I agree with the whole basis of this article that creationism should not be taught in school because it is a religious belief. However, I also have issues with how this article seems so lump all religious people together. For instance, “The Catholic Church has endorsed evolution”. What is that supposed to prove? That just because one religious group accepts it that we all should? Also this article seems to speak for all religions and how the all believe creationism yet I think its really just trying to say Christians. Being a Christian who hasn’t studied other religions that deeply, i honestly don’t know about how they feel about creationism. For instance, i’m not sure all Islam’s, Bhuddists or Hindu’s just automatically believe in creationism. So this article needs to be more specific. Im also confused about something the article said; “Science has been greatly successful at explaining natural processes, and this has led not only to an increased understanding of the universe but also to major improvements in technology and public health and welfare”. How has explaining the natural process benefited public health and welfare? I don’t quite get that. And just as a parting note, Darwin’s book name isn’t just “The Origin of Species Through Means of Natural Selection”. The book’s full and original name is “The Origin of Species Through Means of Natural Selection: The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life”. And seeing as how race is only applied to people, i think the esteemed father of evolution was actually a tad racist and that they had to take that part of the book’s title out so as to not offend people and to not soil his reputation seeing as how racism is a very socially unacceptable thing now and nobody would respect him anymore for fear of being called racists themselves. Those are just my personal thoughts
I think this article was great and very well written! I personally believe that God created everything and I don’t agree with the theory of evolution. However, I must agree with Mr. Fundi that creation-science should be kept out of the science classroom since it can not be proven by science nor can it be experimented on.
I feel this is a very interesting article that opens a big debate with religious people and people who believe in evolution. I believe that creationism should be taught because students who believe in creationism should have their right to learn of their theory. I think that evolution should also be taught because evolution believers also have the right to learn from their theory. I find it interesting to read of how evolution believers think about this idea that with science they can test a lot of things and find out from where humans come. Even though I believe in creationism, I enjoyed reading this article. This is one of the most engaging and interesting articles I have ever read. Great Job Mr. Fundi!!!
I enjoyed reading this article a lot. In my opinion, creationism and evolution are both completely different meanings. Creationism is on people’s feelings towards faith. Whereas, evolution is all about science. I never really thought that evolution believers think about this idea can test a lot of things and find out where humans beings came from. They are both great theories. I think in science classrooms we should be open minded about a lot of things we learn about. But great article! Good job Fundi (:
The Evolution vs. Creationism Controversy in America is a really good debate! In Science classrooms, we learn about how humans evolved from animals. Outside of school though, we learn that humans were made from god or whatever you believe in. When it comes down to it, i believe that both theories can be discussed inside a classroom without there being a big issue. In my opinion, i would say you could incorporate both theories on Evolution. You cant really make someone believe humans descended from something other then God, if they have a strong belief or faith, in God. On the other hand, you can explain the differences between the two theories without rejecting one another. No one has proof to how Evolution started, so no one can really say that is wrong. Nice Article Mr. Fundi!
This is a great article that talks about religion and creationism! I believe that creationism is great to talk about because it is an educational topic that describes the views about what scientists think about evolution. I think that many strictly religious people would have trouble with this and I understand why, but i think that they should see the other side of the concept, not asking that they should approve creationism, but just to see what people have to say about it.Overall, Mr.Fundi I think that this article is interesting and a great debate topic.
This article was extremely interesting. But I believe that creationism and evolution are to very different things. Creationism is the what scientists would use to describe evolution and use to in a way describe there faith. Evolution is the actual scientific term that describes how organisms and the world around us has evolved. the creationist believed that there was a reason for creating everything. But the people in favor of evolution seem to think that everything slowly evolved, which is more likely i believe.
I can agree with this article completely. I for one don’t believe in creationism. There is too much evidence of evolution to make it true. Having creationism taught in school is a bad idea. It is a religious concept, which disregards all rules about religion in public schools. When it comes to evolution though, that should definitely be taught in public schools. It has proof and you can test the theory. People should not be offended by scientific evidence. I found this article very interesting and a great topic to discuss.
This article really caused me to think about what my thoughts are based on Religion vs. Evolution. I am a religious person but I have to believe that creatures who first roamed the earth didn’t look just exactly like we do today. I believe that God created life in this world because something had to. But I don’t think that we started out looking like we do today. We evolved. I don’t necessarily think we were strait up monkeys but we definitely had different more ape-like features. This theory of Evolution had been proved through many experiments and data collections of Science. But we have to understand that something did create us? We couldn’t have just made the world by ourselves.
Good article ( :
What made it to be a good article?
i liked the article. it was interesting.
How? What made it interesting?
I really enjoyed reading this article, i love reading about evolution and how the earth and people have evovled over time, i also enjoy hearing different views from people who believe in different things like in this article. I believe that both religion and evolution are two very complex topics. I belive that creationism and evolution are two very different things because creationism is what scientist think evolution is about and evolution is the true facts and they have researched and founds facts to back up what they are saying. When you bring religion into this is makes it very difficult because certain relgions believe certain things because thats what they believe, where as scientist go back the facts. I think this raises a greast debate for controversey over evolution vs. creationism.
I believe that evolution and religion shouldn’t be taught in public schools. It doesn’t belong in the classroom as you stated. Everyone doesn’t have the same beliefs;discussing and mixing evolution and religion with education can cause plenty uproar between teachers and also students. There is nothing wrong with learning and trying to understand the science about the creation of the universe if your interested, but the science classroom in a public school is not the setting.
I find this article very interesting as there are many different points being made. I feel that both sides have their importance on being taugh and discussed, although evolution within the science classroom and creationism outside the science classroom. I feel people need to be taught both “sides” of the story and it is up to them on which side they want to explore/believe.
Very interesting topic, thanks for posting.
I believe that people will view what they have been brought up to believe. For example, I’m Catholic. I believe that God created the world and everything in it, and there is history to prove the fact. Yet the theory of Evolution is just that, a theory, so it’s hard for some people to believe it when it has not been proven
In my opinion i think that god create this earth, thats just the way i was being up and its what i believe in. I like the way that you explained both sides. But if you are Christian or Catholic its just not right in your religion to believe in evolution the facts that were listed about evolution were interesting but then when you look deeper and ask well how did the first ever animal get here. Do scientists have any evidence to answer this question.
I believe in evolution. It has been scientifically proven many different times, where as creationism has not. Although, i do think that this is a very sensitive topic to discuss, evolution should definitely be taught in science classes. Simply for the reason of it being proven. If people don’t agree with it then they shouldn’t take away the opportunity for those who do and want to learn more.
I believe what the creationists beleive.This is based on my religion. People have done a lot of work will to prove evolution, bulive cause of my religion I believe as the creationists do. The creationist explanation just has a more logical explanation.
I strongly believe that God created the Earth. Then again that is my opinion and every other person has theirs. I believe that in a science class we should be taught both ways, even though if there is no proof for creationist we can still learn how the bible said it went. Like I said this is my opinion on how to know. I think it would be very interesting to learn both ways, and it will help us also in the future to see how one side sees how evolution evolved and learn also from the other side. The schools should be allowed to show both ways, I don’t think it would hurt to try.
I did enjoy reading this article; however, i do believe that we should learn about both situations. We should be taught the comparisons of both topics. It is very possible that both evolution and creation had a part to do with the world and how it is. Maybe neither is correct, but most likely both have some similarities which are correct.
I think that Evolution is scientifically correct, but some people will believe different things depending on their religion. Some people will believe that creationism is how we became and been formed. i would personally be for both of them in a way because neither could be proven with fully true information.
I agree with the text, because this is what I learned in my school and from my parents. I’m a religious person but i believe more in the evolution.
yea it was a really good articel we should learn both of the situation throught it tho
I totally agree with you Mr. Fundi. My family and I are pretty religious, but I think school should be school and my faith be my faith. With that said, I believe that religion should not be part of school because everybody comes from different backgrounds, and we don’t all have the same beliefs. Creationism should be kept out of the science classroom because like you said we can’t use our science tools on that. We do science because it confronts us with answers and our faith keeps us going, so they are two different things that shouldn’t be associated with together. Also with science experiments there will always be debates about the results because our world is always changing, and there is always new discoveries. “Creation Science” is a religion because its what a person believes in. On that note, I really enjoyed your article Mr. Fundi and I can’t wait to read the next one.
I personally think both should be thought in school, and if any parent or student doesn’t like it then they should just change schools.
awesome article !
its is certainly a good article…….. i think that the creationist is most importent instead of evolution. I think that evolution should also be taught because evolution believers also have the right to learn from their theory
