Palin believes creationism should be taught beside evolution in schools and the two debated?

Question

http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles_of_faith/2008/08/sarah_palin_on.html

the idea that they should be debated almost sounds smart, but then wait , hey, why does judeo Christian creation have any standing next to a viable scientific theory? i'm not sure about this. but mark, i am not against it being taught in schools, i would only just require that you also include the creation myths from every other major religious tradition... for "debate". how does that sound? what do you think?

Answer 1

I'm all for it.  The creation myths would be exposed for the lies that they are and we could end the evolution myth as well.  Christians have nothing to fear from an honest debate.  We always win those debates.

Answer 2

Thank God I'm not voting for her and McCain. With her logic, (or lack of is more like it) why not make the Easter Bunny an ambassador. The things people still believe in this day and age. It's quite creepy actually.

Answer 3

No way.

I have no problem with it being dicussed in a history or philosophy class but alongside a proven fact in science class?  

NO

EDIT:  

Ogo, that is ONE scientist who has said he proved it.  It has not been tested nor peer reviewed, so not proven as fact.

Plus, it could have been that those two were the first "leap" and they bred, it does not prove the bible is true.

Answer 4

If you include one Myth then all should be included and if that happens there would be no time for actual science.  

Answer 5

Both sides should be presented. When one side does not want to let the other side to speak, the other side is always right. It never fails.

Answer 6

But she also believes it's a decision that should be made by each State.

.

Answer 7

Yes, comparative religion, after all, e.g. the Hindu Creation is very different from the Christian one.

Answer 8

Try as you will, the 2 cannot be separated. If evolution was truth, it would preclude creation, but it does not. Talking about this should only require one class, one hand out. No matter how you do it. For both.

Answer 9

As an atheist i would love it if they were honestly debated.

Question number one, how did acacia ants make it from Central America to the Middle East. Seeing as they can only survive on an acacia tree, di they uproot a tree and carry it on their backs?

Answer 10

Palin is utterly committed to keeping the US the nation of retards it has been for the last two terms at least.

How else do you expect the Republicans to get elected?

Answer 11

You're forgetting that there are so many variations to your so called viable scientific theory. Which should be taught?  Man supposedly evolved from apes, that was the standard given for all evolutionists.  Now some say that isn't the case but that the two have common ancestors.  Which is it?

Answer 12

I insist that the Taino creation theory be taught along side the Discovery Institute's version.  I will not be discriminated against.  Teach the Taino version as well and let students decide for themselves.

Answer 13

Scientists recently made the claim that using DNA it was determined that all humans evolved from the same male and female ancestor.  If creation is just a myth how do you explain the fact that religion has been teaching that very same thing for thousand os years, long before anyone had ever heard of DNA?

Answer 14

If she does her homework, she could mop the evolutionists up using their own material.  It's easy enough.

Answer 15

Many religions besides the Jewish and  Christian religions believe in a form of creation. Oh and the correct term is intelligent design. One more thing intelligent design uses science, it just allows for something outside of  natural explanations .

What follows is straight out of Webster's dictionary this is the definition of true science. In a general sense, knowledge, or certain knowledge; the comprehension or understanding of truth or facts by the mind. No where in this does it say only by natural means.
