Is creationism taught in schools?

Creationists, should creationism be taught as fact in all schools?

  • The question is not about evolution, abiogenesis, the big bang or anything else; it's simple, would you like to see creationism taught in all schools?

  • Answer:

    Creationism - especially, the Christian version - may be taught only as mythology. There are no facts to support this faux "science." @ Desiree and other creationists - Creationism is NOT a theory, numbnuts. It's a pseudoscience born out of willful religious ignorance.

Only in Religious Studies. Not Science class

Only if it's the Norse creation story. I want my kids to learn about the giant cow who licked the ice until the gods appeared.

Not as fact, because there is nothing factual to support it.

If you actually knew about creationism, you would know that there's nothing to teach about creationism other than "goddidit"

No one cares.

I just don't think any of it is really relevant enough to be taught at all. Kids these days are having a bad enough time getting all the basics down. Just reading through these pages alone shows how bad their English is.

Keep religion in religious study classes or in religious private schools. Otherwise, no.

I think they should teach creationism as factually as other theories. The students should know as much as they can about every theory that is out there then decide for themselves what they want to believe in.

How about beginning with definitions of "idea", "hypothesis", and "theory" and then have both present the test that turns and idea in to a hypothesis, and then the evidence that turns the hypothesis into a theory. then, When creationists talk about fish fossils on mountaintops or bones that god buried in the earth as part of his creation, the class can then study the evidence, and in this way learn about carbon dating and rational thought. Schools are for learning - not indoctrination (ideally).

It is allowed to be taught in schools. It's not illegal and does make more sense than evolution. I just found out.
