Just It may be suggesting this to you but you, as far as I can tell, seem to be the only one feeling this. I have never run into anyone else proposing anything like you do.
The simple fact though is that the statement above does not support your thesis.
Add to the fact that many people here have told you that your version is not being taught in school. I could have missed it but I don't think I have seen anyone agreeing with you.
Is there any even remote possibility that you might be wrong?

I've been wrong and changed my mind about lots of things in my life.
I don't think I'm wrong on this though. As I pointed out before, the courts are going to decide if there is a form of creationism being taught in our schools. Not sure when that's going to happen, but it's in the works.
Maybe I'll be convinced otherwise then.
Because it´s incorrect, and I am doing my best to demonstrate it to you; of course, this requires you to show a minimum of cooperation. Sticking your fingers in your ears and repeating the same mantra over and over won´t help you understand why I don´t admit your point.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?
Look, trust me, from personal experience being willing to admit being wrong rather than hanging on to ideas is life changing. It might be hard at first, but after a few times it gets way easier and it lifts some stress off.
What Christian denomination are/were your parents, if you don't mind me asking.I've never actually been formally taught evolution. I was home-schooled up until college, so every science class I took was Christian based.
I'm currently at a state university studying as a pre-med student, so I'm sure I will be introduced to evolution soon.
Does anyone have middle or high schoolers in homeschool? If so, how are they doing academically and socially?
I have a middle schooler since Feb and her grades have improved.
thanks
Just for the record, the statistic say that homeschooled children are actually more likely to have fathers with advanced degrees, score better both in school and college, have a higher percentage of graduating college, (all regardless, by the way, of their parent's income, education, or the amount spent on their education) and score better on tests of maturity, socialization, etc.
Just in case we're interested in facts rather than "Well I have a friend who I know on Facebook who's sister home schools and her kids, from what I saw on their Livejournal "
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.
?

Please answer my question from my post #239. It is important for me in order to learn whether you have a general inability to understand the crucial distinction or whether your understanding only leaves you when acknowledging the distinction proves that your point is a dead horse.

How about you start by defining what "creationism" actually means?
Lets take a real world example. Humanity didn't exist, now it exists. What/who created humanity? Solely naturalistic mechanisms? Something else?
So you are claiming that if something comes into existence, the only possible way for it to happen is for it to be created?
Again, sticking with actual real world examples, humanity didn't exist...now humanity exists. Why? How?
And if you have no evidence at all, why do you think it's a valid position to hold?
Why are you avoiding the question?
Are you saying that the only way for something to exist is if some other thing created it?
It's a faith-based position dependent upon my experience with God and scripture
Others have a faith-based position that humanity was created entirely by naturalistic processes.
So then you are claiming that there is no evidence for the scientific point of view?
