I DON"T want Creationism taught in schools. I would prefer that in science classes that they stick to science.The point of this thread is to ask those who want creationism taught in schools how they would go about doing it, and which version they would choose. Because they seem to have little in common when it comes to their specific views, other than opposition to evolution. So, hypothetically, if evolution wasn't even an issue, is there even any consensus or standard for how to teach creationism? In public schools, the same thing would have to be taught nationwide. But so many creationists can't agree with each other.
And what if some other version of creationism ends up getting more support?
Say that they come, listen to what you have to say, and then respectfully disagree, and invite you to their church to hear their side of the issue?
I didn't ask about what was published in scientific journals. I asked what the theory of Intelligent Design was.Disclaimer: Intelligent Design proponents are not responsible for what is not found on the contents page of scientific journals.
Is science class the only class taught in your schools?I DON"T want Creationism taught in schools. I would prefer that in science classes that they stick to science.
I thought Mr. Lane just said there was no theory of Intelligent Design.I didn't ask about what was published in scientific journals. I asked what the theory of Intelligent Design was.
Is science class the only class taught in your schools?
Can't Creationism be taught in history class?
Or is it science class or the highway?
No ... the problem ... (as I see it anyway) ... starts when people start saying Creationism doesn't belong in school because it doesn't belong in science class.The problem starts when you want to treat the supernatural claims as true and want to teach them as fact.

What's next? banning the diagramming of sentences because it isn't taught in gym class?
How about letting creationists ... not unbelievers ... decide where it should be taught?I would be okay if creationism was taught in some form of mysticism class.
Those can stay out of school altogether.Skreeper said:But then not only the christian creation story should be taught. Maybe a comparison between many different creation stories
If it was we would have to include Batman & Robin, Superman, Spider man and the Green Lantern, in fact there is even more reason to include those in a history class because we at least know who wrote them and when.Can't Creationism be taught in history class?

Do you want it out of school altogether, or don't you?As long as it is not taught as fact I don't care if you call it the "Goody Feely Class".
Do you really think you need to ask that?Skreeper said:Why should the christian creation story be treated any different then the other countless stories from other religions?
It should be taught in a Comparative religions class. It might also have a place in modern US history as a cultural phenomenon.Can't Creationism be taught in history class?
That's apparently how the Creationists feel about it.Or is it science class or the highway?
Quite possibly he did. Have I given any impression of caring what Mr. Lane thinks about the subject?I thought Mr. Lane just said there was no theory of Intelligent Design.
Well, yeah. But since the subject of this thread (you know, the one we're posting in) is the teaching of creationism in science classes, and since the person I was responding to advocated the teaching of intelligent design there, the theory of intelligent design would seem to be an appropriate thing to ask for. As in, just what do you propose to teach about ID in a science classroom?If it isn't a theory, then it must be something else.
Like ... you know ... a faith-based belief?
Why should the christian creation story be treated any different then the other countless stories from other religions?
What is the difference? there is the same amount of evidence for all of them.Do you really think you need to ask that?
