Evolution Must be Taught in Science Class; Creation only for Religion Classes

Well of course. What's the problem with that?

The theory of evolution is a branch of science, while creationism is pure religion. And everybody knows it!

Next thing you know, they’ll be calling for math to be taught in math class, and English in English class.

Coyoteman, pulling the night shift for the voice of reason. Good on ya man. I don’t believe the world is 6,500 years old but I don’t have the energy to argue once the literalists get on this thread. You’ll be up all night. Good night!

I think everybody whose read anything on the topic “knows” evolution is a theory, not a fact. I want my children to hear all theories, not just the secular progressive’s theory.

[Timbo64]

I like your tag line.

"The theory of evolution is a branch of science, while creationism is pure religion. And everybody knows it!"

Everyone also knows that the theory of evolution and science are based on the philosophy of naturalism with the following assumption that naturalism is then the ultimate arbiter of truth.

Or maybe not...

But no naturalist wants 'everyone' to know that or they wouldn't constantly pretend that the philosophical foundation of naturalism followed by the assumption that naturalism is then the ultimate arbiter of truth isn't an exercise in circular reasoning for 'science'.

[Wallace T.]

The real issue to conservatives should not be the usual evo vs. creo fight, but the danger to the autonomy of private schools when they accept government money. If you take the state’s dime, you will have to dance to the state’s tune. Today it is the nature of creation in Ontario, tomorrow it will be Christian doctrine on homosexuality and abortion, and the day after the teaching of the glories of diversity and multiculturalism. This fact should discourage anyone who wants government vouchers for students to attend private schools.

Well of course. What's the problem with that?

The problem is this quote from the so-called 'conservative' leader: "The Christian-based school would have to teach the Ontario curriculum"

In other words, private Christian schools would have to teach the same curriculum as the Ontario public schools. Not exactly a conservative position.

The theory of evolution is a branch of science

It is a branch of fiction and should be taught in literature.
