Often, it made up of things we didn't understand. Story is a good way to navigate complicated issues. That said, the wrong story just as easily causes as much harm as good. I still put faith in telling the truth as much as possible.
I'm not saying that we should teach religious doctrines as fact. But I'm also denying that studying the social implications of religion is negative.
What they neglect to mention is that everything in science is just a theory and is never proven. Unlike the Prime Number Theorem, which will absolutely and forever be true, it is still possible, albeit very, very, very, very, very unlikely, that the theory of evolution by natural and sexual selection may one day turn out to be false. But then again, it is also possible, albeit very, very, very, very, very unlikely, that monkeys will fly out of my ass tomorrow. In my judgment, both events are about equally likely.
Like gravity.
Were we specifically talking about science class? I'm just talking school in general. Of course you don't teach mythology in math class.
I learned the theory of evolution in history class in 6th grade.
It happens. No worries.
I don't disagree with that, but it's under the category of religion or religious study.
That's what it says in the link. I don't think you read my link.
Is that a bad thing? One of the reasons I can only comment on religion in a broad sense is my lack of textual understanding. Real religious scholars ought to be deeply versed in the core texts of their study, even if they disagree with the claims of these texts, no?
I copied it from your link. You highlighted the wrong part.
Do we have any scientists disputing the theory of relativity? No we don't.
Lol! What? I don't know of anyone except for very few who don't want their children to learn about the theory of evolution. Some of them would like the religious theory included too, that doesn't mean they're against learning about other theories as well. Why does it have to be one way or the other with some of you people?
but why would they want a religious theory taught in a science class?
if religious theory MUST be taught in science - shouldn't there also be competing theories on the nature of the universe? why isn't geocentrism presented as an alternative theory, for example?
Well it doesn't have to be brought up in science class. Like I stated, I learned about the theory of evolution from my 6th grade history teacher, and she was quite thorough too.
No, you need to read it again apparently. Use your comprehension!!! The bold part is copied from my link.
The creationists and other critics of evolution are absolutely correct when they point out that evolution is “just a theory” and it is not “proven.” What they neglect to mention is that everything in science is just a theory and is never proven. Unlike the Prime Number Theorem, which will absolutely and forever be true, it is still possible, albeit very, very, very, very, very unlikely, that the theory of evolution by natural and sexual selection may one day turn out to be false. But then again, it is also possible, albeit very, very, very, very, very unlikely, that monkeys will fly out of my ass tomorrow. In my judgment, both events are about equally likely.
I learned about Greek mythology in school. I didn't think it was real though. I don't know what you're so frightened of.
Well it doesn't have to be brought up in science class. Like I stated, I learned about the theory of evolution from my 6th grade history teacher, and she was quite thorough too.
This is absolute rubbish. The theory of evolution is well established, and there is a considerable amount of evidence which supports it.... so to give creationists credit by stating that creationists are absolutely correct when they point out that evolution is “just a theory” and it is not “proven.” suggests that you don't understand the use of the word "theory" when used in a scientific context.
did you learn that greek myths offered a valid alternative explanation of the world?
if so it makes sense that you think children should learn alternative "scientific" theories such as creationism.
clearly not thorough enough!
Theory
A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. A theory is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it. Therefore, theories can be disproven. Basically, if evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, then the hypothesis can become accepted as a good explanation of a phenomenon. One definition of a theory is to say it's an accepted hypothesis.
Example: It is known that on June 30, 1908 in Tunguska, Siberia, there was an explosion equivalent to the detonation of about 15 million tons of TNT. Many hypotheses have been proposed for what caused the explosion. It is theorized that the explosion was caused by a natural extraterrestrial phenomenon, and was not caused by man. Is this theory a fact? No. The event is a recorded fact. Is this this theory generally accepted to be true, based on evidence to-date? Yes. Can this theory be shown to be false and be discarded? Yes.
Was it the Mrs. Garrison evolution explanation?

Religion also evolves with humans as well they aren't separate but inter twined through out history People and their views change through a different perspective think of this someone during the romans times or whenever they were also mandated to evolve and they did and what did they become after Constantinople they were Christians and they were accepted and not beaten or put into gladiator matches against lions . We are Mandated to evolve as well as religious beliefs if they did not all Christians ( for example ) would be like the Amish and the early puritans .
