Re: UK Bans Teaching Creationism in State-Funded Schools Read
I don't have any issues with teaching about something. That is completely different from teaching it as fact. Unfortunately religion is a thing people do so if someone wanted to teach about the fact that people have religious beliefs then so be it.

if you don't believe that creationism is a viable argument you're way too ignorant to be posting on an internet message board

Re: UK Bans Teaching Creationism in State-Funded Schools Read
Not a very useful argument and in the history of never has creationism been taught as the more simple concept of the universe being created by intelligence without all of the religion stuff added on.
There is nothing to prove or disprove so you would still have to teach about it rather than teach it as a potential fact. |

I wouldn't think this would spawn so much controversy when creationism is clearly bullshit and has no right to be taught as a scientific fact.
Let's make another example: would you think it's wrong to ban holocaust negationist history books from being used in public schools and presented as actual facts?

Re: UK Bans Teaching Creationism in State-Funded Schools Read
another small point I should add:
even if the creationism argument that neither evolution nor creationism can be proven to be true or false, that still doesn't qualify creationism to be taught in classrooms (and if that was the case evolution shouldn't be taught either) the point of science is to make demonstrable claims about reality. if you make any kind of statement that is not provable or demonstrable, it can never be discussed meaningfully in science

Re: UK Bans Teaching Creationism in State-Funded Schools Read
nothing of the external world is provable because nothing in the external world can ever be proof
it's like none of you have ever heard of descartes or something

Re: UK Bans Teaching Creationism in State-Funded Schools Read
Simple as that: creationism isn't science. Thus it has no place in the science classroom.

Re: UK Bans Teaching Creationism in State-Funded Schools Read
How is this even a discussion in 2014? Can't people read? I wanted to post about this, but figured it was completely pointless because "eh", but now... Ah, fuck w/e.
