Do you think Creationism should be taught in public schools just as evolution is taught in public schools?
Kandahar said:If you're asking if they should be taught as equally valid theories, the answer is no, because evolution is correct and creationism is incorrect.
But I would have no problem with schools (even public schools) offering some optional classes on various religious beliefs. Creationism could be taught as part of those classes.

Kandahar said:It's been "proven" correct as much as anything can be "proven" in the sciences. It has as much evidence behind it as, say, gravity. It has been directly observed in laboratories and in nature. Furthermore, it is the cornerstone of modern biology and medicine.QUOTE]
When did scientists develop a way to create life out of NON-LIVING material? In order to believe in evolution, you would have to believe that living cells came from non-living material.

Kandahar said:There are some minor gaps in the theory, but nothing to suggest that it's untrue.

correct me if i am wrong, but arent scientists supposed to be able to recreate things in the lab or in the outside world and get the same results again and again
when did that happen with evolution
whereas gravity was tested every day with every object that falls to the ground

You do realize that abiogenesis and evolution are two entirely different things, don't you?

Conflict said:The fact is that evolution is a well accepted theory based strictly upon a scientifict method.
There is no scientific methodology which could produce an observable manifest of creationism. Nothing in the world that we live in comes from nothing. Cause; Effect; Reason.
You need to view the world as an infinite circle... a process... It is only linear as far as we know. Creationism attempts to dispell what can be observed time and time again as a real occurence and replace it with the question of "what if".
Now creationism is perhaps real in the human mind... but does it extend beyond our own experiences and our own perceptions in an objective sense? Doubtful.

assumptions and conjecture

If you can not create life from nothing, where did everything come from
we had to of evolved from something, simply by the definition of the word
where did it start
this is where the text-book thumpers fall short
'yeah, the big bang created the universe'
'uh, if it created the universe, what banged?'

have a source handy yourself?Kandahar said:Bullshit. You obviously don't have the faintest clue what the hell you're talking about. By "small gaps" I mean that we haven't found every life form that ever existed on the planet. The evolutionary history of the world is complete, from the Precambrian Era to the present day.
DeeJayH said:have a source handy yourself?
Kandahar said:1. The Big Bang has nothing to do with evolution.
2. Abiogenesis has nothing to do with evolution.
3. You obviously failed to evolve a brain larger than your primate ancestors.
Kandahar said:Yep. You just tell me what period since the dawn of life you believe that there is a "gap lasting millions of years," and I'll give you plenty of information about it.
DeeJayH said:good non answer
*grabs pen and jots it down for future use*
Kandahar said:What non-answer? I offered you the information you asked for. Just tell me what period since the dawn of life you want to know about. Unless, of course, you're afraid that I'll call your bluff. But since you don't believe evolution isn't true, there's no risk of that, is there? C'mon, give me your best shot.
