Not here. If it is taught in science classes in America, this sheds a questionable light on your education system since it isn´t by any means a scientific theory. It is a metaphysical assumption.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Then why is the creationist viewpoint that humanity is the creation of only, solely, naturalistic mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago presented?

I ask you again, what is taught concerning the creation of humanity if not by entirely, solely naturalistic means acting on a single life form from long long ago?
Alternate to the viewpoint above. What viewpoint other than all of life we observe today being the creation of only, solely naturalistic mechanisms?
Anything?

It's not supposed to be in any public school that I know of. Instead, they usually just teach the Theory of Evolution.

Several times in this thread I went to great length telling you in detail what is being taught, and what is not being taught. Try to read it and let it sink in.
This viewpoint isn´t taught, and my response won´t change even if you repeat your this question (which is loaded with a false premise) another ten times.

Still waiting for any creationist viewpoint taught in public schools contrary to the creationist viewpoint that humanity is the creation of solely, totally naturalistic mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago.
Anything?

If you'll just simply point out what part of the following isn't taught.
All the variety of life we observe today is the creation of only, completely, totally, solely, naturalistic mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago.
I await.
Oh, I realize you're not going to specifically address the issue.

Yes, I get plumb swimmy headed each time the particulars of atheistic creationism is avoided, from the shock.

Thank you.
Now, what other mechanisms are taught other than "only, completely, totally, solely, naturalistic mechanisms" ?

Examples of any mechanisms which aren't naturalistic which are involved in the creation of humanity?

Are you really that thick?
Science deals only with the natural aspects, and consequently it mentions only those.
That´s not the same as making any positive or negative statement concerning metaphysical ideas.
When you go to a mechanic he will tell you what´s wrong with your car and fix it. He won´t mention what´s wrong with your house, your wife, your children or your health. He just doesn´t mention it - simply because it´s not his field nor his job. Doesn´t mean he makes a claim that you don´t have any other problems than those with your car.
Same with science. It addresses natural processes, and just those. Which doesn´t mean it makes any positive claim that there aren´t possibly metaphysical processes involved, as well.
Get it?

I don't have any examples of such things, do you?
And no... I'm perfectly comfortable and confident in knowing what I know and don't know.

I notice you keep calling natural processes and mechanism "naturalistic processes and mechanisms".

No, he's not. I would characterize him as stubborn. It is fairly obvious that he knows what mistakes he is making, yet he persists.
The rest of your post is really unimportant since he has ignored every other poster who has said the same thing.

Justllook, do you understand the difference between these two statements:
A gynecologist solely treats women.
and
A gynecologist claims that there are solely women/that solely women need medical treatment.
?

Right. The particular creationist viewpoint attributes the creation of humanity only, totally, completely, solely to naturalistic mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago. That's the only creationist viewpoint presented in our schools, consequently our children learn that they owe their existence only, totally, completely, solely to naturalistic mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago.
That's an inherently atheistic creationist viewpoint. An atheistic worldview of life, an atheistic philosophy of life, being taught our children.
Why can't you admit the obvious?
