Show that teaching creation in addition to evolution would cause us to fall further behind.

Can you point to one advancement made in western science and medicine that was made possible by replacing science with religious instruction? Schools should teach science in science classes. If children are taught that a religious belief or superstition has as much scientific value as an actual scientific theory, they will be less prepared for work in that particular field.

If students who will go on to become researchers in field of communicable diseases are taught that the belief that disease is caused by demonic spirits is just as scientifically valid as germ theory, we will all suffer for it.

If students who will go on to become scientists are taught that the religious belief that the earth and all the life upon it was created wholly formed six thousand years ago is just as scientifically valid as the theory of evolution, modern cosmology, and modern geology, we will all suffer for it.

If you want to teach your children creation stories particular to your own religion, feel free to do so at your own house of worship or homeschool. No one is stopping you. Please do not, however, ask the rest of us to teach your religious ideas to our own children under the guise of "science."

[[Can you point to one advancement made in western science and medicine that was made possible by replacing science with religious instruction?]]

Can you point out where we’re tryign to ‘replace science with religious isntruction”? Cripes- it appears you’re incapable of intellectualy honest discussions.

[[If children are taught that a religious belief or superstition has as much scientific value as an actual scientific theory, they will be less prepared for work in that particular field.]]

Again- anopther ignorant statement- perhaps you missed my links above showing where religion is NOT in any way shape or form a part of ID science- but keep pretendign it is- it just shows the desperation Macroevolutionists feel by tryign ot malign and falsely accuse the opposition- Yep- that’s the scientific process evidently, intiidate the opposition by lying about htem and tryign to shape public opinion about htme by spreading and perpetrating lies about hteir purpose-

[[If students who will go on to become scientists are taught that the religious belief that the earth and all the life upon it was created wholly formed six thousand years ago is just as scientifically valid as the theory of evolution, modern cosmology, and modern geology, we will all suffer for it.]]

What’s hte matter Flimshaw? Afraid hte truth might destroy the hypothesis of macroevolution? Is that how science works to you? Repress any counterevidences for fear of being exposed?

[[Please do not, however, ask the rest of us to teach your religious ideas to our own children under the guise of “science.”]]

Calm down- NOONE is askign you to teach the parables of Christ, or the virtues of the ten commandments- We are however askign that objective science be taught- ALL of it- instead of hiding hte serious flaws and impossibilities of Macroevolution- Apparently htough, only your particular religious beleif is allowed in schools? Lol- Yep- must be nervewracking htinking your hypothesis faces serious exposure- But do please keep spreading lies about ID- again- apparently that’s hte only defense you folks have- which exposes just how weak your hypothesis really is!

You don't bother reading much do you? You apparently just regurgitate godless talking points like a robot.
