Should the concept of creation science AND the theory of evolution science be taught in public schools?


Question


Should the concept of creation science AND the theory of evolution science be taught in public schools?
I am writing a research paper on this topic and I am trying to get feedback from people around the globe. I want to know what you think and why.


Answer


Creationism is not backed by a plethora of scientific studies. Its backed by a plethora of nonscientific studies. Scientific studies do not rely on selectively ignoring conflicting facts in order to quotprovequot a theory as the creationist theory. Scientific studies do not claim nonreliability in a technique such as dating at one point, while claiming reliabilty in the same technique when it supports a theory.brbrScientific studies that are not conducted with objectivity or scientific methods should not be taught. Hence, creationism should not be taught.brbrUsing your analogy, teaching creationism would not be like teaching children they have a right and left hand, it would be like teaching children they have three hands.brbrBut Ill say one thing, if creationism is allowed to be taught, Ill be sure that all origins of creation theories are taught, including the HOPI, Mayan, Chinese, Satanic, and Greek Mythologies that contribute to creation theory. I like the Hopi version where we all had tails and came from the center of the Earth! While I dont agree the theories are valid, I applaud your interest in fair treatment of creationism.
