I wouldn't expect anyone to have all the answers, but I don't think requiring someone believing literally so adamantly in the Judeo God creation stories at the expense of believing what scientific findings show us to know why we have two conflicting accounts in order to provide some credibility is inappropriate.

Quite. But how do you expect students to know what they wish to pursue if they aren't given a decent introduction to each subject?

Ok, well thanks for discussing it anyway, JG.
I feel it's such a shame that you should think that way about education in general, even putting science/evolution aside. Going to school and learning is an important part of life and developing, finding out about things you didn't know about before, and I look back at my time there wishing I could do more of it. Humanity's desire to learn will never be conquered. -

Eyes Open, "others' are too busy with real world problems such as unemployment, high gas prices, foreclosures than to worry whether or not we evolved. The concept of evolution doesn't put food on the table.
So all of America is so worried with surviving from day to day that they can't spare a few lessons a month to learn about scientific discoveries? You're not seriously suggesting they should scrap science in favour resume-writing?
I'm sorry if you're financially short, and it's sad that many are, but I don't see why that should mean people who aren't able to go to university but who would like to be progressive don't get to learn about evolution.

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.Like I said, scary but amazing. If I didn't already know you were a fundamentalist Christian I may think the first two paragraphs were a joke.
Some people will believe what they want...
no, just because I do. just because, plain and simple.
...others prefer to progress in their understanding of the world around them and find out how and why things happen the way they do. And they shouldn't be stunted because of anyone's holy book.

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

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. -

This thread is amazing. Scary, but amazing.
Did I read right that some high schools in the US of A choose not to educate on the theory of evolution? -

I'm looking forward to finding out, too. But if you need to stay in for the sake of your family right now it must be rather limiting to say the least.
