As I am a Christian I have mixed feelings about creationism and ID to get into schools. This is due to the reality of the mixed religions families have..and keeping up with freedom of religion and free will. Then again, sharing equal air time to the theories of origin....Darwin, ID, Creation, or Extra-terr from a distant galaxy...:)) Creationist believe in the 6 exact days.....however, there are also many of us that believe in 6 days being a relative term of time, but certainly not evolution. A lizard turning into a bird....?? naw.....but, equal time in the classroom. Can a teacher keep their personal opinion to themselves and teach all in a neutral manner.
Personally I do believe strongly in a supernatural force that can formed all we see now......if we believe that is the way life and the universe was created, then why not. If someone believes a fish turned bird and that Lightning created the first sparks of life by accident by striking amino acids or whatever.......then I suppose free will is there too.......The ACLU are still losers, as the legal system is in their favor....as well as strong politics. Nothing to do with science or the truth. Yes, ID'ers are not innocent as well to make their point. There is one truth, we just need to find it.
<< Creationist believe in the 6 exact days. >>
Not all of them do. The most vociferous of them are the "young-earth" creationists who accept that. And almost most of that bunch insists on six literal 24-hour days.
There are also "old-earth" creationists who have figured out that it makes no sense to argue against cosmology, astronomy, geology, and physics. They accept all of that, and many of them accept evolution of all other living things besides humans.
<< but certainly not evolution. A lizard turning into a bird....?? naw.... >>
As we have said a hundred times -- something like that would actually go AGAINST what evolution posits. Please -- learn what it is you are talking about.
<< but, equal time in the classroom. Can a teacher keep their personal opinion to themselves and teach all in a neutral manner. >>
Equal time for what? Just your specific creation belief? That's not equal. Once you include one, you have to include all -- then when would we have time for science?
<< Personally I do believe strongly in a supernatural force that can formed all we see now. >>
There are many people who accept the scientific evidence for evolution who agree with you there.
<< If someone believes a fish turned bird >>
If someone believed that, he would be an idiot -- not an evolutionist.
<< and that Lightning created the first sparks of life by accident by striking amino acids or whatever. >>
That has nothing to do with evolution -- something else we have repeated endlessly. Evolution deals with what goes on after life arose -- no matter how life arose.
