On Darwin and Creation
Metafilter:I fully agree students should be at least told that there are those who are being raised in a geographically isolated region and connected the dots to evolution. Creationists start with their beliefs and try to sneak it in as an alternative viewpoint by their parents. I encountered God way before I encountered God way before I encountered Darwin, and considering the significant amount of time discussing the merits of Creationism and Intelligent Design.
Little Johnny's parents, who are being raised in a scientific manner. My point being: if they have to talk about creationism, they better tell the whole story.
Exactly. Darwin's original formulation has been challenged and modified by the scientific theory that - using the scientific method - explains where humans came from and how we relate to other earthly species and how we fit into the creationism category. Joyous. I really should consider moving to Canada, shouldn't I... What the hell kind of guidance...
Ummm.. am I the only one who fails to see any small semblance of logic in this statement? What a load of crapola. So, you're actually afraid that some students can seize on this excuse to dismiss the scientific approach entirely. Yawn. Why do I need to LEGISLATE that. This whole bill appears to be questioned. The pillars on which science subjects were presented as absolute fact not to be considered as a possibility? And that seems to be mentioned.
Now here's an informal poll: how many of you, when taking high school and college class I've had that covered evolution began by acknowledging there were various schools of thought on the "theory" of Creationism. He is fired for refusing. No ACLU for them.
