“Well, if you don’t want everybody’s creation account taught, then don’t teach ANYBODY’S. Evolution included.”
—Considering that the class is “science class”, why not just teach what the leading theories are among scientists? That’s how science progresses. People learn and understand what the theories are so they can be improved upon, replaced, or disproven.
“Evolution is the creation account of the secular humanist and atheist.”
—And the vast majority of Christian scientists, and probably most Christians period worldwide, (including likely most Christians in America, depending on what poll one believes).
“Why should theirs get priority just because they think they have better evidence for it? That’s simply a matter of opinion.”
—Imagine that - giving priority to a theory believed by the vast majority of scientists - in science class. Next people will start going to historians to decide what to teach in history class, and to mathematicians for what to teach in math class, etc.
Evolution is the creation account of the secular humanist and the atheist. It’s a no God, no intelligence, naturalistic creation account.
Secular humanists and atheists have no other option for an explanation of how the universe and life came into existence.
Just because some who call themselves Christians choose to believe it, doesn’t affect that at all. People are free to believe what they want.
