Argument for teaching creationism in all schools
Argument for Teaching Creationism
Opening Statement: The definition of science found in a dictionary is “a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws.” The study of evolution is only a theory that can very easily be disproven. Only when a theory cannot be disproven and becomes a principle or law then it should be taught in a science class. Creationism at its basic level of understanding has no way to be disproven unlike evolution. Therefore creationism can be taught, but teaching evolution would be teaching “bad science.”
Rebuttals:
#1- Many of us here have had the basic teachings of biology however for a fresh reminder a Flagella is found in a prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Flagella are a slender threadlike structure it is how some cells and microorganisms travel. Flagella are whip like tails that are used to propel the organism forward. The flagellum have been considered to be too irreducibly complex that only a very intelligent and powerful designer could create.
#2- Regardless of your personal feelings on the matter, the wants and needs of the many outweigh the wants and needs of the few. Over 90 percent of the Tennessee population believes just creationism should be taught. The remainder supported the notion of teaching both: evolution in the science class, and creation in a philosophy class. Either way you look at it, that’s a decent chunk of people asking for the same thing. You don’t even need that many people to agree on something to elect the president.
#3- Arguing that creationism is forcing religion on children is akin to saying a history class on World War II is forcing fascism on children. Living in a society that allows people to express their views openly without fear of hostility as long as they do it nicely means that we will often have to hear things we disagree with. It’s important for children to know and understand these views. Painting
