Ever Wonder Why We Continue to Argue About Evolution? (high school, programs, states)

[ovcatto]

15% of high school science teachers explicitly endorse creationism while 60% of teachers are to scared to stake a claim on the hard science.

what's popular isn't always factual or right..
I'll stick with science it uses theories with evidence to eventually discover facts.. Religion states what the facts are without evidence and considers anything otherwise as false.

The far left: promoting the teaching of evolution in schools while funding social programs that defy evolution, go figure.

The far right: promoting the teaching of creationism without any evidence to support it. Witnessing evolution in their very own lives, but refusing to acknowledge it's existence.

Actually both evolution and creationism are theories. Nice try though. I'm pretty certain that I acknowledged evolution in my previous post. Reading comprehension problems?

6,000 years ago, why was this created?
Easy. Practical joke by God.
He even made it so the carbon dating looks like it's 70 million years old.

So far the responses in this thread are just a bunch of petty bickering.


I would be interested to find out what "evolution" is going on in the world. I havn't seen it. Unless you are consider demographic changes caused by liberal policies and large-scale immigration to be "evolution".


Currently we are in a state of dysgenics. Got Idiocracy?

I bet that theory above could eat a lot of Philistines.

Cracked.com has some explicit/foul languge.

Exactly, evolution is a scientific theory, creationism is a delusional mumbo jumbo fairy tale. Next.
