Creationism vs Evolution Offered in Most Home School Textbooks

While i do not ascribe to "creationism" per se, I think any theory should have arguments, for and against, rigorously taught.

If the theory is more than theory, it will come to light. To accept it as fact, when it is but a  theory, is utter folly.

I will go further and say that the "99.9% acceptance" of the theory of evolution is far too optimistic. While many in the field are unable/unwilling to say so publicly, the theory has as many skeptics as the big bang and global warming theories.

Creationism versus Darwinism

In the beginning from out of anywhere came a holonic force, a self-swallowing entity that defies explanation and human understanding such that faith in the force must be blind and the following forever indebted to something all-knowing. Let us call this force, God.

Let humans have inventive powers to create ideas called myths that help them adapt the meaning to their particular culture, and let their masters be called preachers.

By Contrast

The world as we know is one without end – it is infinite in greatness and infinite is smallness. Everything is made of something smaller for which humans keep inventing instruments of discovery. Science, math, physics, and chemistry contain knowledge that helps explain the universe. Humans can extrapolate and interpolate meaning under constraints for which the boundary is elastic to a point limited by the rate of our own evolution.

Needed is more science and intellectual development to understand the world in which we live. Responsibility for expanding knowledge belongs to the individual.

The whole science of evolution is full of rich sources of investigation, experimentation and a wealth of knowledge gained from the work of many scientists. The origins of species is just one facet though, look at the history of the theories and discoveries about the world's origins, the formation of planets and stars, again a wealth of scientific data from many sources.

Creationism, one source, the holy books, no scientific base...no back up data....no history - just the alledged writings of obscure desert dwellers a couple of thousand years ago, alledgedly translated into English by churchmen with a belief system to try and foist on everyone and bring them into thrall.

There's a lot of kids are going to be brought up pretty ignorant of the real world if this sort of nonsense is allowed to go on unchecked, it will be bye, bye to any hope of competing in the modern world for a great number of American children. Sad state of affairs indeed.

As far as I know, Creationism is not a science and can there for not be tough as such nor along side science.

It is a believe and belongs in the category of mythology and theology where it can be though along all other religions and such believe structures in order to put it into perspective and give it its just place.

If we teach creationism then we have to teach the Hindu and Buddhist or Islamic and Atheist version of this as well.

It is reported that more than 1.5 million of America's children are home schooled, with Christian based material the major source for the students' education. Federal statistics show 83% of parents home schooling their children want moral and religious instruction included in the home school curriculum, the majority of whom identify as Evangelical Christians
