Others say we were created by a superior being, God. Using science as best we can, we will try to undertand how someone could have that perspective. And we will look at some other ideas on the origins of the Earth and life as well.

Sunday School or perhaps Comparative Religion. Science more or less by definition explores natural processes, not supernatural ones, especially since there's no evidence for the latter.

The purpose here is to present you with as much information, or lack of it as the case may be, for you to have as full an understanding of this question as possible.

All of creationism, and the essence of your very own objections to the scientific data presented on this thread, is that no one can drag you kicking and screaming to a comprehension of it. Let's call this science "Dumb Bleep-ism." That's shorter than "You Can't Make Me See"-ism. That's kind of content-free.

Now, I realize the paragraphs you spout in this post are an attempted answer to that, but again, there's nothing for the poor hapless teacher to present if he isn't a Know-Nothing himself. If he thinks he actually understands the "Know-Something" part of the course--and as science teacher he should--then there isn't much nice he can say inside any state-mandated presentation of BJungNan "I'm Dumb As Petrified Dinosaur Dung And You Can't Stop Me"-ism.

By contrast, those that believe a god created the Earth will tell you that it is just a matter of god having created an ape and having created a man.

But a science teacher would be obliged to say that this statement belongs in SUNDAY SCHOOL where it doesn't matter that there's no evidence for it.

Yea, well tell that to my biology professor in college. As he put it, after you study the science of biology if you still believe there is not a god then you have far more faith than I do.
