Faith Schools Should be Banned

The first thing I would like to point out about your argument is your statement regarding the scientific view of Evolutionary Theory. You are wrong when you say that Evolution is proven to the same level as Gravity or the heliocentric nature of our galaxy. If you look back at your science textbook, the first chapter will likely explain the scientific method, which in summary goes like this, educated guess/hypothesis, theory, scientific law. Evolutionary theory is a theory, meaning it has been studied intensively but it has not reached the point of absolute scientific law. Now, I am not going to start debating whether or not evolutionary theory is true or not as you seem to be trying to force on me, but I will debate you on the subject of bias. You have already stated that religious organizations bend the facts to fit their own agendas, hate to break you bubble but so do the "science textbooks" do so also, don"t believe me? Here is some proof: http://www.darwinthenandnow.com... Also, the writer of this article is an evolutionist not a creationist or proponent of religious ideas: http://www.darwinthenandnow.com... So as you can see, the peppered moths example which has been used in textbooks for years was a hoax, the worst part is that it is still in most textbooks despite the fact that it is a hoax, and the books do not tell the reader that the pictures and theory are a hoax. Not only that but there are other theories that could easily be taught alongside evolution that are completely left out. For instance, if you think Creation-science is too religious then look at Intelligent design, its simply states that he universes first cause was intelligent, its doesn"t ask to look at the designer as a God, or even to worship him, and its doesn"t even necessarily mean evolution should be rejected. Now you are probably going to try saying something along the lines of there is more support for evolution, which is true. However, according to this poll 47 percent of the American population believe a god was involved in the formation of the universe, whether through evolution or not: http://www.gallup.com... (I came to this number by adding the 2012 values for God Created and God guided evolution) With this stated I would like to ask two Questions. First, who writes the textbooks for public schools? Can we be sure they are not biased? This issue is this. It is impossible for anyone to be completely objective, everyone is biased, thus no matter what you do the textbooks and the teachers will always let slip their worldview. With a public education system you can never be sure what the worldview of the textbook writer or the teacher will be. In a Religious organization you can be sure which viewpoint is being given rather than in a public school where you cant being completely sure. Finally before I close, I will address morals. This issue of moral without backing higher than human authorities is this. You showed us how man made decisions are fallible, thus even decisions made by a court are fallible. Now we have a problem, who should I believe, fallible me or fallible them? With most Gods you get an infallible base for morals, rather than the relative believe whomever has the bigger stick issue. You may say that this causes more problems and debates than it solves, but because everyone has a basic moral awareness that defines SOME but not ALL morals, leaving eternal gray zones that will be debated over. However in this subject this has no weight as moral and religious ideas are first caught at home, and then either changed or solidified though education. To end I will ask a few questions. 1. who decided what is taught? 2. do you really in the face of this evidence deny that public textbooks bend facts? 3. who has is the ultimate guide of a child"s education; the parent or the state? 4. how will you avoid bias among a race that is already biased by nature? I wish to encourage you to make your answers very clear as this is your last argument.
