Creationism has no relation to science so it should not be on science class.
- jakeonthemove 14y agoTrue, but try to tell that to the millions of people who believe creationism IS science... To make it simple, just let the kids choose and decide for themselves...
- shitlord 14y agoyes, but how can the kids choose when the information will inevitably be provided in a completely biased manner?
- guard-of-terra 14y agoI'm trying amn't I. It is not science and it's not a question of beliefs. You should not lie to kids. By telling them about creation in science classes, you lie to them.
- MartinCron 14y agoThe millions of people who believe creationism IS science are wrong. It's imperative for people to let them know (politely, of course) that they are wrong, especially in the science classroom
- shakesbeard 14y ago> To make it simple, just let the kids choose and decide for themselves... No, that's not how it works. By that logic we also would have to teach about ghosts, dwarfs, <stroke>astronomy</stroke>astrology, or just claims made by other religions or folklore. There's a reason we teach our children sciences. They are objective, observable, testable, falsifiable, etc. We want a rational society, not despotism.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoYou meant astrology.
- shakesbeard 14y agoYep, thanks!
- Tichy 14y agoUh, no? Why bother sending them to school then? This is not about beliefs, it is about science.
- voidlogic 14y agoExactly, save creationism for a world religions class and evolution for the science class. They cannot be compared in the context of science because creationism is outside of the scientific process.
