Oh look....it's now 28 to ZERO who state that the teaching of evolution is devoid of any atheism...!
I'm claiming, as I have for quite a while now, that there is no evidence for the creationist viewpoint that humanity was created entirely, solely, completely by naturalistic mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago.
I'm not avoiding the real world question of what/who created humanity. Why not simply address a relevant question concerning our existence?
And I provided the evidence that you say is lacking. Read it. But don't cry foul and say when it isn't there when I've provided it, okay?
You don't seem to realise that the term "created" implies a creator. Some entity taking action to produce a desired outcome.
Are storm clouds created or do they just form through entirely natural processes?
What same lessons? You're not suggesting that Christian schools are teaching that humanity is the creation of only, solely, completely natural mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago, are you?
The question is, and of course you avoided this with your leanding and misleading poll questions, what creationist viewpont is being taught in our schools. Is it one of humanity being created humanity by only, solely, completely natural mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago, or is there another creationist viewpoint being taught?
If you're disputing that the following isn't taught in our public schools today, please tell us what is being taught which is substantially in conflict with this particular creationist view......
"Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by Charles Darwin and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. "
Anything?
Nope, you haven't. You gave a link, which isn't evidence.
Humanity didn't exist. Now humanity exists. How? Why?
This is what's not being answered.
The link provides the evidence. CLick on the link and a new tab will openand the information will be displayed. The evidence does not cease to exist just because you have a hissy fit about it.
That's pretty much his MO. Pretend evidence doesn't exist if he hasn't seen it, while at the same time refusing to look at evidence that can't, to his mind, exist.
I'm saying, like various other teachers and students, that Christian schools are presenting exactly the same material in their lessons on evolution. Do you understand this? If you disagree, please provide evidence. Note: by evidence I don't mean a reiteration of your premise.
No, the question is whether there is a creationist viewpoint being taught at all.
According to 100% of testimonies so far, the answer is no. And your only rebuttal is to ask some variation of "Well then how do you explain the fact that schools are teaching atheist creationism?" You don't seem to understand that this is the premise you need to support; you can't use it as your starting point. Well you can, but that's a logical fallacy.
I don't dispute that this is taught. The point it that it is taught by Christian and secular schools alike.
Because stating the known, scientifically examinable mechanisms by which humanity arose is not the same as stating that there could not possibly be any other forces at work.
Christians here have agreed that the above definition is what they were taught in Christian schools. So obviously it isn't "atheistic creationism".
The link provides the evidence. CLick on the link and a new tab will openand the information will be displayed. The evidence does not cease to exist just because you have a hissy fit about it.
It's a personal choice to care or not.
Answer the question. Is creation by some entity the only way things can come into existence? Yes or no?
That's pretty much his MO. Pretend evidence doesn't exist if he hasn't seen it, while at the same time refusing to look at evidence that can't, to his mind, exist.
Can this problem be circumvented by pasting information instead of providing bare links? Or does he refuse to read anything pasted?
Can you force yourself to care about stuff? Make yourself care about the color of my grandmother's carpet.
I can force myself to care about the destination of the Godless individual upon his/her death. Die without Christ and you'll spend time in a devil's hell.
That's something to care about, IMO.
