The National Center for Science Education has tracked a record-setting number of nine anti-evolution bills introduced in state legislatures since Jan. 1.

And.. that's a good thing.

All Republicans want is for the children to be exposed to multiple view points. One view is that God created the world in seven days. Another is that each of those seven days actually represented multiple years. And a third is that fish magically turned into humans. I think we all know which view is worth believing.

The people from the Creation Museum have a new music video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5frn9MoQSHc) for sale explaining how, contrary to what secular elitists want us to believe, people lived with dinosaurs for hundreds of years before dinosaurs became extinct. They have a whole record you can buy to play for your young children to get them started on the right path.

Let religion deal with the spiritual things, and Science deal with the physical things. Church should teach religion, but classrooms should teach science.

Students have a very limited time period with which to actually learn each school day. Lets not muddle that up by presenting every viewpoint that demands representation.

Again, folks can learn spiritual things at church.

But you be trollin' with this.

You didn't care much for my advice in Shattered so I doubt you'll want it now, but don't ever take Clyde seriously. Ever.

Funny. I went to a Catholic school for eight years, then public school for five. The Catholic school taught me way more about science and evolution than the public one. I'm Agnostic BTW.

I went to Catholic school as well albeit not every grade. I think religion class should teach religion. Science class should teach science.

Which class teaches math?

[LMingrone]

I agree. My teachers usually used religion class more as a way to teach kids right from wrong, and how to treat others with love and respect. I really doubt they even believed half of the religious trash they had to teach.

[Wyrmx]

Which class teaches math?

That would be the social studies class.

I wonder how the religious communities would feel if we started inserting our government more into their churches the same way they're trying to insert their religion into our schools (taxing them, telling them what they can and can't preach, teach the controversy in the religions etc).

However, the problem here is that they don't see it as Religion, folks. They see it as truth.

I...I know. Hence why I said he was trolling.

The Catholic Church has officially recognized evolution as the way the human race came into being, well before even you and I were being taught by the Church. Genesis, in the HRC Church, is an analogy about knowledge, good and evil, and shame.
