GhostAnime 50 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 I gave you one. You just refused to even respond to it. You aren't approaching this argument with an open mind at all. Math and scientific theories cannot be compared. Math is more systematical and differently tested. Just like there is a law of gravity but also a gravitational theory. scientific theories are for explanations of facts, once again. They aren't meant to be proven 100%. They never can be yet we accept them by principle just like the other examples you never said anything about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough. So what should we teach children? We should teach them both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough. So what should we teach children? I've always been a fan of giving children the facts and let them decide what they want. Tell them that there is no proof of how life was created, how we all came to be, scientists are currently theorizing on how it could have happened, but it is yet to be proven or tested.

chaney445 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 Should we teach every creation myth in human history. A science class is for teaching science, not religion. Just go take a class on religion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GhostAnime 50 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 Unfortunately when evolution IS taught in a science class, it doesn't even HINT anything about a 'beginning' or 'how we as humans came to be.' Anti-Evolutionists (which are USUALLY religious) just seem to be afraid of it and attack it relentlessly when it does almost nothing to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not every test involves a guy in a lab coat. It is merely a procedure to validate. It can be *ANYTHING* that can help support the hypothesis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both sides. not all people who believe in intelligent design are Christians or even religious. But evolution is science; religion is an entirely different topic as he said already.
