Why Evolution Should Be Taught (page 28)

Eyes Open

So sad.

So, Junction-Guy, as you believe in Genesis as being literal rather than allegory, which of the two contradictory creation accounts do you choose to believe?

"Agenda" was mentioned earlier. Have you considered the agenda the two different human writers of the Genesis accounts had?

"Religion is regarded by the foolish as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." - Seneca (Just look at the American elections.)

So sad to see it getting in the way of education.

I believe the King James 1611 account.

As for education they need to start teaching more practical things that will further them in life and quit trying to force a liberal agenda on our school children. They need to be taught how our government works, they need to be taught practical things like making resumes, better reading comprehension, and other things.

Whether or not we evolved 1 billion years ago does nothing for my finances, marriage, or anything else substantial in my life. It is practically a non issue, as people will believe what they want.

This subject would be almost non issue for me, if it weren't for some people.

One of the reasons why evolution should be taught is actually its immediate relevance to the here and now. Read the opening article for examples.

I think it's telling that so few posts on this thread have dealt with the reasons given in this article.

So therefore, a valid question I raised before on this thread: is creationism relevant for understanding our immediate environment?

A million dollars and a change of scenery would do wonders for my life, forget evolution.

The King James 1611 bible includes the two contradictory creation accounts written by different authors.

JG,

I believe we were created, and nothing can convince me otherwise. It would take God himself to tell me that evolution is true before I would ever believe it.

In making the above statement, you just let everyone know you are a close minded person.

To answer your question hamilcarr, point blank no. It doesnt change the fact that I am in debt, it doesnt change the fact that my marriage has went kaput. It is almost a neutral issue for me, but for the tactics of many XJW's that try to propagate it.

It has no practical application for my life, so therefore I don't have this burning desire to prove evolution correct or to find errors within general christianity.

Talking about the link between evolution and materialism ...
