When I was in school I learned how some cultures believed that the world was a tortise that we rode on the back of. We learned how the trickster character of different cultures existed in some kind of diety form. We learned Greek and Roman mythology.

Of couse not everything taught in school is science, but helps us understand the thoughts of the world as a collective group and not just one particular subculture (atheists).

I have no problem with creation being taught in schools that teach evolution just as I have no problem with evolution being taught in schools that only teach creation.

Evolution, in science class. Did you learn about Greek and Roman myths in science class? I seriously doubt that

Creationist myth, in my opinion, has no place alongside evolution and other scientific teaching.

Sure, teach creationism alongside the myth of the world on tortoises backs, alongside Roman and Greek mythology, NOT in science classes.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson as always says it best



Creationism isn't science therefore doesn't deserve a place in a science class the same as alchemy has no place in a chemistry class

Well in my school Religious Education was compulsory up to GCSE level and I think that is fine but surely using intelligent design as an explination in biology would just be 'god did it'?

Teaching people about other peoples religions is a good thing, as it makes them more balancec and able to argue, or agree in future debates. As long as creationism is taught in that context, and not in a scientific context, there is no harm in the lessons

Creationism in RE is just fine by me. Just as you say, not in a science class.

Actual headline should read Ipsos Mori demonstrate how the wording of a question can be used to influence the outcome of a survey

If you wanted actual and valid results you'd ask questions like "Do you think Creationism should be taught in schools?"

Instead participants in the poll were asked whether they agree or disagree with this statement:

The weighting of this statement makes it seem that it's the teaching of Evolution that is in question, not the "other possible perspectives".

Not picking that up in the first paragraph of the article makes this not even bad journalism, just average sensationalism.

I believe in God, and that Jesus was his son, i also believe in creation. that being said,

learning about God and the bible should be offered, not forced. we are offered salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, but we have the right to refuse this gift.

at the same time, there is alot of science that is theory, not proven. often kids either aren't told this, or they don't understand the theory concept.

i've seen too many times science get it wrong, then come back and change the theory a few years later.

the bible is unproven for a reason. we are to have faith in God, not proof.

You know that organised religion has quite a track record of changing it's teachings, don't you.
