There is a difference in the meaning of the word "theory" in scientific terms vs. "theory" as "something that cannot be proven." The "theory" of evolution is just as observable as any other scientific theory (such as that the moon causes the tides, for example). That is why Creationism, as explained by ANY religion, doesn't belong in non-religious schools.

Evolution belongs in the science classroom.

Creationism belongs in Sunday school.

One is proven.

One is myth.

Those who can't distinguish that difference have nothing to add to the discussion other than uninformed opinion.

species change over time. but one species cannot evolve into another species. that has never been proven. by anyone. ever. so don't lie to children. saying evolution is a fact is like saying the sky is blue is a fact. well it depends on the context and condition.

The theory of Evolution is always taught in science class, just like the "theory of gravity."


Creationism also belongs in the classroom.... when studying comparative world religion, along side the creation stories of a dozen other religions and cultures.

Since we clearly can't agree, then no, it shouldn't be taught at all. Just tell them the world is and we can't explain why.

"Evolution" is unproven and therefore it remains a theory, and a ridiculous one at that! It shouldn't be taught as fact. It should have scant mention, and should be presented only as a theory.

It has become a tool of the left which is used to ridicule and discredit Christianity and Judaism for the single purpose of promoting atheism.

Science is based on the observable.

Evidence of evolution can be observed.

...Creationism is a hypothesis.
