Since evolution is a theory, then it is NOT a fact. Since evolution is NOT a fact, then it DOES require faith. Therefore, evolution is a "religion" and NOT a science.


Evolution is backed up by scientific evidence, not faith, that makes it a scientific theory and thus valid for teaching in a scientific class, as a theory.

f evolution is taught in schools, then biblical creationism should be taught the exact same way...as a theory.


What makes Biblical creationism better than the creationism theories of all the other religions? Last I checked, the First Amendment is in place to keep the government from establishing any religion and by teaching biblical creationism, they violate that by showing judeo-christian religions favor over other religions. What about hindu faiths? Or shinto? Or any other religion? How can you say that your religion is better than theres? The United States of America is not, and should not be a Christian nation, but a multi-religion nation, as was the intentions of the Founding Fathers (who were agnostic deists btw).

You may believe that the Judeo-christian god is truth, and thats fine, but not everyone in the US believes this. And this is yet another reason why we do not teach creationism.

The USA is founded on the belief that anyone is free to believe what they want. Having public school teachers teach the beliefs of any one religion violates that.

Creationism, as well as all other religious topics, belongs in social science classes, where these things are taught objectively.
