Creationism or Evolution? Which IS?
By azilana7037 •
As the American PRESS recalls SARAH PALIN's comments during the governorship race in Alaska back in 2006 that: she believed creationism should be "taught alongside" evolution in schools....
Views on CREATIONISM?
Is evolution a science? Is creationism a science?
This is it...politics mixed with religion :-/
I can accept this, heero.
There's always a teacher for Values and a teacher for Science...
I thought she meant 'alongside' as in one school, not one teacher.
It's like teaching scientology if it's just one teacher. LOL

how can you teach something, heero, that contradicts all "scientific" findings? Your reputation as "teacher" will suffer immensely unless you are a "religion teacher". And religion is a subject in some schools in some countries.
...the real problem is the 'publicity' of her previous actions.
So what if they're both taught in schools?

Ulysee was so funny,
He really loved his Mummy,
Homer was a fag,
He loved to dress in drag,
Odysseus was so silly,
He liked a big Greek W---y
Keats 1876
Gin gives u Wings! Just like them greko gits!
This guy smells alcohol at every distance.
Sanatate!
Prosit!
Vodka time, nastrowje.

marhabtain, don't start a discussion with me on ancient Greece. You will experience your Waterloo, I can guarantee that.
Its okay, apology accepted.Did u read about Odysseus - he used to hang about the port in Athens providing favours for sailors!
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee! Large one me thinks
To be honest, I also read about and was interested in the Ancient civilizations..
They have not only given us philosophy, but also influenced our arts, architecture and odcourse Politics.
Yah, gypsy, you said I "liked" the story. I overlooked that. Sorry for misjudging you.
Well I was 17 and not much of a feminist back then. That developed a few years later.
He was a poof - like the rest of the Ulysees bunch - all fags! A Greek Miss right!
Free Peru and wear a bowler!
Hic! Gin time Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
So you must have a "soft" core, thanks God.
Meh, I just liked the story. Didn't really try to read too much into it.
I can understand you, gypsy. It must be great for you as a woman to see how the greatest heroes get together to fight for one woman. But I don't understand, on the other hand, that Ulysses pleased you. He stayed 7 years on Circe's Island, he had an affair with Nausikaa, and, and. Dumb Penelope to wait 20 years for him.
I meant our society as a whole MD, not us as individuals. Personally I liked the Odyssey and the Ilaid
It does not necessarily have an "effect" on all of us, gypsy. I read Homer's Iliad at the age of 12 and it made me laugh. I read the Bible at the age of 10 and it made me laugh. and today I read the newspaper online and i can't stop laughing. But the values that I have are not from any of these printed matters. They are from the way people I have to deal with respond to me.
History is all about ancient societies and how they develop goodlookin, if you learn Greek myths, or about ancient Egyptian society, then it only makes sense to learn about Judo-Christian society. After all it had a huge effect on us.

it would, brit. And that's what would be dangerous for the ruling groups. Therefore it is in their own interest not to have too many bright people, like you, for example.
Knowledge and education broadens the mind.. Why not expose children to both at school. Wouldn't it create more balanced and empowered people ?
There is a time and a place for religion.....it's called a church.
you said it, brit!
Well said..
I see nothing wrong with teaching both at school. As children mature, they can make up their own minds. The problem occurs when "we" enforce the notion of one or the other..
The people who "create" the curriculum are the ones who decide what goes in. Since it is not centrally governed in the US nor Europe there are curricula which have creationism as a subject.
From what I learnt, the school books dont teach creationism....they teach evloution.....and they have questions in exams about evolution!!!
Why?
Ok in the cathecism class they used to teach us Creationism....but only for Christians.
The hindus, sikh, jain, buddist,etc were taught only about evolution.
Why cant they be taught both the "theories" or whatever theory that exists?
Religious BS should not be taught in school.
Science or religion, who can answer this question? If you live your life according to your beliefs and you survive, that's it. If you live your life according to what scientists tell you and you survive, that's it. It's just a matter of what serves you and makes you happy. For an individual both are an equal choice. A scientist probably will tell you:" Science is my religion".
and other English free channels talk about SARAH PALIN and her CREATIONISM also makes me cringe myself...I even dreamed I was teaching cathecism to kids (which I actually did ages ago)....
At least, it takes away the attention from DARUDE? :-P
darn.. all i ever had to teach me about evolution was that Fatboy Slim video. Here it is:
any questions? :D
Nice one adey! The best segment from all three of his live shows.
:)
Ricky Gervais's lecture on Creation
Just the best!
"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365
not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the
many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers
were given. Satan - 10."
I learned Creationism and Evolution in my History classes. Our teacher was great, he taught us several different Creationist theories, not simply the Judo-Christian one and then he taught us about early man.
Personally I agree with Palin.
not good to mix politics and religion...
No, I don't think I'll bother.

This could turn out to be a fun one.
I'll go with baldrick's answer. Saves me typing out my own version of the same thing.
but at the appropriate venue, such as a church or mosque. It has no place in science lessons as those are reserved for teaching facts that humans can verify.

The supposition that there is a God.
IMO (as an aetheist) this should only be taught if/when the child has made up his/her own mind about religion, and should not be compulsory. I have no problem with anyone else and their religion, but do believe it should not be thrust upon naive minds.
Just my 2c
Did you Google it first?
Pointless debate as the religious people will defend their view until the end of time.
You also forgot Intellgient Design as a theory if you can call it that...
