Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

Children should have an option be taught about religions in general to help them become more tolerant, accepting, and generally knowledgable. They should not be taught creationism in lieu of evolution, however, and not in a science class but in a religions class. Teaching these things to older students, in a high school or junior high school setting, would probably be more appropriate than elementary. Students should have the freedom to choose whether or not to believe these things.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

I personally believe that creationism and evolution should be separate classes from science and should be taken as a choice a one or the other kind of deal also we could add to that list the theory of intelligent design also called divine intervention.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

Yes. Students have the right to investigate every theory and see if they want to believe it. People have the right to choose their beliefs.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

If it is in a religion class than i have no problem with them being taught it, in a science class they should not because it is not science.Also students shouldn't be taught it is a theory on how life came about because it has no evidence for it and by calling it a theory it makes it seem as if it is on equal footing with evolution and other scientific theories which it is not.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

As far as they choose any other course to study in school, absolutely. But, as far as evolution vss. creation is concerned, that should be up to the parents what they want their children to know. Just like sex education. When it comes to crossing swords with the morals and religious beliefs I want my kids to have, hands off!Kids aren't stupid, so don't underestimate them. Four-year-olds ask endless 'whys' for a reason--they want to know why. I do, too. If I'm told to believe something there had better be a good reason to.Evolution is every bit as much a religion as creation is, but its purpose is selfish, and not at all altruistic.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

I think Creationism can be taught in schools along with Evolution and other similar theories.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

Yes Creation, because the the bottom line is whether a day was a day or several million years, there was a Creator involved
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

Creation can't be taught in school since there is no actual information to discuss. You can't fill a five minute lecture with the amount of unified information on Creation. The lecture would be "Some time ago God created everything. We aren't sure how long ago because people can't agree on that. We are also not sure how long it took God to do it, since there is no consensus on that. But, we know God created everything. Um, well that's all we know about creation for sure, next subject".

None of that video is actually agreed on by all of you lunatics. Talk about lack of intelligence.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

There are many disagreement about all of it. There are a few theories in the start of evolution that disagree. This adds Creation and gives kids the opportunity to decide themselves, rather than being forced into a religious opinion of atheism!
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

There is nothing to decide. Creation is not based on facts. Evolution is not atheism. Evolution explains the facts on how life proliferated on this planet. Only a retard would think that means God had no hand in it, especially if that person was religious. You are arguing that God created everything but was not responsible for how life proliferated. Do you know how dumb it is to be a theist and say that?
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

I never said atheism was evolution. I did say that evolution defined scientifically can be taught.But evolution not defined by absolute certainty should not be taught. Because that is just belief, not science.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

You don't have a clue what you said.There is no alternative to evolution. We can teach it with certainty. Should we teach chemistry without certainty?
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

I'm done with the argument.I'm not sure if your a stubborn kid that can't understand reasoning, or if your an adult that is contentious.The bottom line NOTHING AND SOMETHING IN THE BEGINNING ARE EQUAL. BECAUSE NO ONE HAS PROVEN NOTHING OR SOMETHING!SO THEREFORE NOTHING IS A BELIEF NOT A FACT!
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

You were never a part of the argument.The God argument solves a single problem (while creating the exact same equivalent) and creates many many more.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

And the Creator acknowledged can be called Intelligent DesignBut atleast it's closer to sensible truth then inteligence from nothing
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

Do you understand why things taught in science class need to be scientifically verified before being taught?If so, can't you see why teaching a particular religion's origin story not only is unfair to other religions, but also fails the standard of scientific rigor for a science class?If you want a Comparative Religion's class, however, I'm all for that being a part of standard curriculum.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

That's a double standard since the very first beginning can't be verified in either theory. 1 is nothing 1 is Intelligent DesignNeither can be proven or disproven
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

There is absolutely nothing taught in science class that doesn't have the possibility of being disproved. There is no double standard.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

Atheism is a belief system, and their agenda is to make others believe what they believe. So then what's the difference between having both a Creator and a Nothing.Both are beliefs, but 1 atheism and from nothing actually forcefully imposes their beliefs. Where as Intelligent design gives kids choices to choose, and parents ability to be in control of the values and beliefs of their families and children. Which should never be given to any belief system, including atheism.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

Why do you believe that God isn't responsible for science? You have failed the religious community.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

I've actually said the opposite. I think God as the Creator established every principal of science. And a good bit of it is found in the written Word of God. I think God uses everything in science for us, and at times against us. I think He who created science knows science better then any ever will
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

You are saying that there are parts of science that God is not responsible for, then you blame schools for saying it. How do you live with yourself?
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

When did I say that? I actually didn't say that. So I encephalitis can run its course and God created principals of our world and universe. So , how am I saying that.I said in previous posts that 1 day could have been 10 millionThe Bible itself says immediately after saying and God rested on day 7, ... that And this is the account of the generations of days So to me that indicates longer term than each day being a day as we know a day.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

This goes back to doctrines of man. Many doctrinal beliefs are accepted as truth without looking beyond teaching of men to what is actually said. God doesn't want any words added or taken away for a reason, and basically doctrines of men have ignored that verse. And its traditions of men passed down, as opposed to letting the Bible be the doctrine.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

Sorry, but your beliefs involve ignoring the truth by not looking beyond the teachings of the Bible which were invented by man. Evolutionists are the ones who investigated the truth instead of accepting the "truth" that people like you fight for.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

You say that evolution was not because of God. Evolution is science. Therefore, you are saying there are parts of science that God is not responsible for.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

And I never said a religion class. Intelligent design doesn't define religion. It leaves it up to kids and parents to define.The question is, is it the public schools authority to define what was in the beginning, when no one actually knows? Isn't that just selecting 1 belief over another, rather then letting parents and children religious freedom to choose either.Why is it OK for public school to remove God from our kids minds, to avoid by selective belief a possibility there is a God.Aren't schools and this movement of free thought pushing their beliefs that there is no God, creating beliefs they can't prove either.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

Intelligent design isn't based on facts, it is solely based on religion. You can't separate the 2.The schools aren't defining what was in the beginning. They are reporting the facts of astronomical research.You are trying to teach the why when science teaches what happened. Schools have never once said that evolution wasn't about God, that was religious people. Uh oh. You guys shit yourself in the foot.Schools never mention God. You decided on your own that science and God don't mix. Stop blaming schools, that was from churches.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

Nothing is not based on facts either!Religious freedom should be free.Separation from church and state, 1st of all that term is not in the Constitution.What is, is not selecting one belief over another. And that is what has and is happening. Intelligent design encompasses all, including nothing! Cells can be self designing as Intelligent design, it could be God, Allah, the sun god, Whatever it's undefined. So what is the agenda here to remove certain beliefs and force atheism?
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

Show me the wrote in the constitution that says "don't choose one over the other" dingbat.Intelligent design encompasses literally one thing consistently. We can't teach that in school. It is impossible.No one is forcing atheism. You forced your way out of science by claiming God isn't involved. Not the fault of atheists.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

In the context of class intelligent design is generic, leaving it up to kids to put in whatever they believe WITHOUT BEING STEERED TO BELIEVE!
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

In the context of class the curriculum fills one minute. How can you teach something with one minute of material?
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.Respecting establishment of religionSelective State for a Doctrine of Belief Elevating a Solid Standard for all of a System of BeliefSo where is separation of church and state.The establishment clause was meant to protect beliefs of all by not forcing one of the many beliefs over all other beliefs. Free exercise ensures all to be equally free to believe and act according to beliefs, as long as it is within law, such as you can't cut off someones head because you believe you can.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

The establishment clause was meant to protect beliefs of all by not forcing one of the many beliefs over all other beliefs.Right there is where separation of church and state is.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

I'm not taking a side, I have a question. Do you believe in separation or church or state? Ie...do you believe churches should be tax exempt? If you do you must then concede that the separation must also exist in the schools that are operated at state level or have government assistance. There are schools that have options for both teachings but they are few and far between. Parents have the right in most school systems to opt their child out of classes that teach evolution (at least mine did way back when) but I think if you want a school that is all about Creationism then you need to look towards schools run by the religious community.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

Times have changed, there is a heavy infiltration of government and atheism in school. They are programming kids to be what they want, and it is not a moral good citizen.Every agenda is nesting in public school, but the Christian values they are targeted. They call it "freedom from religion"But really it's just another religion absent of a deity.I guess the founding fathers should have defined religion.BLM - a religionLGBT - a religionEvery special interest group is a religionIt one belief favored over another. Religion was never supposed to be forced behind doors.The Establishment clause is simple, state shall not elevate 1 belief over another, it was never meant to remove religion from the public eye. That's actually a communist agenda. If you take away religion you can control their minds, because if you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

Look at the generation coming up, even scarier think of their kids. Have you ever seen such hate and bitterness.We complained that neighbors were getting less neighborly, like when I grew up, we'll now look at society.See my example of the Louisiana flood victimsThen clip a BLM or LGBT rally. Night and DayBetter yet Darkness and LightJesus said in the last days " Love would wax cold" The darker it gets the colder it gets
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

Jesus said we are light, and not to hide it under a bushelHe said we are salt, without salt food is bad and spoiledSo when salt and light are removed, God help us in those days, and these are those days. We are in the final days. I have no doubt.

The earth is sick and its tired it has met it's final phase

Parents have the right in most school systems to opt their child out of classes that teach evolution (at least mine did way back when) but I think if you want a school that is all about Creationism then you need to look towards schools run by the religious community..A Creator isn't religion it's an option of individual explanation. You would have to homeschooling to avoid atheist indoctrination at this point.Watch God is not Dead 2And God is not Dead 1They may be on Netflix or Amazon Prime It's a bigger issue the preaching religion, it's even whispering religion, it's living religion, Christianity is the top threat.While real threats are minimized, and discussed like a punishment of stand in the corner will suffice, while Christianity is a top threat that will expell you for any sign of light. The lights should close their eyes, because light offends so emmensely. It's the rule of Atheism, the national religion we must all now obey, or else consequences are severe.Look at the posts when discussing religion in politics.We all are what we believe, can you imagine all atheist or all who can set religion aside from their leadership only, how pleasant would that be?Isn't it odd that an outcry against Christianity is more of a threat than terrorism? I find it very odd!.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

I'm sorry I just want to verify, are you thinking that not teaching religion in public schools or creationism is a sign of Atheism?To me that's not a sign of it at all. There are multiple beliefs and many different religions, if you teach one you should teach them all. While I think that would be an interesting idea, it is in no way feasible. Not having Christianity or the worship of God as we know Him doesn't mean we are teaching a "religion of Atheism", just that there are too many beliefs to study and that should be up to the individual, not the teacher or school. In the terms of what is often cried "Not allowing God in school" or the much worse "These shootings are happening because God isn't allowed in school".....I sincerely hate those remarks. God isn't stopped by mortar and brick. He's in your heart, you can pray to him any time, even on the toilet. It's when someone stops you from using your own time to pray, whether it be by yourself or in a group that also wishes to, that I think there is a problem.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

No, religion is indoctrinations of beliefs. Evolution isn't a law of science, there is still an original, a center of gravity exploding doesn't answer, it's a faith unknown.So in evolution simply stating what 1/2 of the parents believe is the Origin is fair.I'm not saying take out Genesis and teach day 1 to 7But they should say the 2 schools of thought are out of nothing or out of Intelligent Design as a Creator.Why is the mere mention of God religion?But the insistence of no God - not a religion?
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

I am speaking on very generic terms the child will plug in whatever they are taught at homeWhether it be God or Allah or some wacky mystical thing or simply science. One leaves the door open for faith, the other doesn't.
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?

Many religions have a Creator, it's not specific to Christianity

Side: Yes

I never said shootings were happening because God isn't taught in school. And atheism is taught, it's caught and taught.I'm going to step on toes, LGBT honestly I don't care if the government let's gays marry. But that's not what the ruling did, it literally gave cart blanc permission, even a mandate that insisted where a heterosexual family is shown in school, the gay couple and family should be shown equally. So every child should see it as though it's 50/50So what does that do to people who have morals and values, this is the response, " we are not aloud to!" Our kids! Yet they tell us what sexual values are acceptable.Now that's a moral overstep. To have a first grade reader sowing Mr and Mr as a "normal" option for children is confusing and a force of values and beliefs over parents. There is less than 1 % of children live in a gay household, so why would my granddaughter have to learn this value in opposition to us and her parents ?Yet we can't even mention a possibility of Intelligent Design, which is also a science theory because much of the science community thinks that over nothing the rest of science community thinks..
Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: Yes

No, I'm sorry I know you didn't, I was using that as a vent for an argument I hear many people argue about and didn't mean to imply that you said it. Now which ruling is it that you are referring to where a mandate that insisted a gay family MUST be shown along side a "normal" one?Kids are naturally inquisitive, they will point out and question differences with the innocence only a child can get away with. Letting them know that there are other types of families out there isn't a bad thing, nor is teaching children tolerance and accepting the differences in others.

Values belong to parents, that would be like teaching all the religions because kids are curious. And for less then 1 % of kids, or even transgender, these are exclusive, to be handled individually. Not indoctrination all children to their freedom from religion agenda.

They are taking kids from their parents by influence and discussions that do not belong in the hands of teachers or schools or government.Do you realize a teacher can preach it, mix it in math, and have whatever class discussions they want about lgbt, but can't even mention a peep about a generic Creator or Intelligent Designer.

Then, they were grilled about their personal beliefs and their parents’ beliefs on homosexuality, PJI alleges.“The QSA had students step forward to demonstrate whether they believed that being gay was a choice and whether their parents would be accepting if they came out as gay,” PJI attorney Matthew McReynolds said. “Students who did not step forward were ridiculed and humiliated.”http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/02/09/students-opposed-to-lgbt-agenda-shamed-in-classroom.html
