Science classes shouldn't require disclaimers for religious bias.

First, Evolution is a scientific theory. IT has evidence. The 'theory' of creationism does not.
- Zazoo:
- Evolution is. Should Creationism be taught hand in hand as a theory alondside of the theory of evolution?
Your ideas?
I think it should. If you are going to teach one theory, teach the other. People need to be educated.
Adaptation is evolution. Mutation, Adaptation, etc are all parts of evolution.

Adaptation is not evolution. Mistaking adaptation for evolution is precisely the type of ignorance teaching evolution can do away with.
(not to mention that we haven't even really adapted to processed food... if anything its worse for us than ever and for the first time in history, people are dying in record numbers with ample access to food because we eat shit. That's not an adaptation, it's detrimental to our survival.)
And yes, you also basically nailed it here.
- CallusedSilk:
- Nope, not in a science class. Creationism isn't science.
Also, can we please stop with this whole 'if you show one side then you have to show another' argument? Do we then have to talk about Islam's version and Hindu's version and a million other creation theories in religion? Because if we're going on the 'if you show one then you have to show the other' then you really have to show them all.
