Everyone should just come to their own conclusions about the meaning of existence. Even though we're probably all wrong anyway.
You still must understand the idea of what theory means in a scientific concept. Yes, theory isn't "100% true" but at the same time the facts supporting the theory IS. It IS a fact that all animal share a common ancestor, but as I've said earlier, the theory comes in the order of how it happened. It is pretty much established that we are all related from almost every scientific field. Even if Evolution wasn't true, this would still be true.Evolution is just that, a theory. You claim that a Scientific Theory can't be false, but Darwin himself proposed the Theory of Pangenesis (which states that inherited traits are passed down through particles that move throughout the body) yet that theory was proven false when it was discovered that genetic information was coded in DNA. A theory is not the same thing as a fact. It is a theory because it has not yet been proven.
The first cell isn't even related to Evolution; it says nothing about how life BEGAN but rather progressed.And another thing, Scientists can't explain the mechanism for evolution. In other words, they can't explain how it happened. How did the first cell arise? How did eyes develop? Scientists can't give a straight answer to these questions.
Read the topic. please.Hmm, Well should Evolution be taught at all? I mean its just a theory isn't it?
One problem though, why would a teacher go through a bunch of years to get a teaching degree to say "God created everything..."...
Why can't they teach science, Scrible?
For all those arguing about the validity of a theory, what about Algebra and math? You can't prove a theorem, and that's why it's still stuck as a "theory" (albeit with a different connotation).
No no, you misunderstood me. Or maybe I phrased it improperly...
Evolution does not make science. It's a part of science, but it doesn't define science. Meaning, you can teach science without deeply touching into evolution. And that's what I meant, deeply touching evolution.
I agree with the rest of this post, but I have to bug you about the comparison here: theorems, by definition, are proven. They use axioms and sometimes other theorems, but they in themselves are proven.
I had to write out proofs of a ton of theorems in Calc last year, and it wasn't all for naught! =(
But, like a woman, evolution likes it when you go deep!
I agree that it should be taught as an elective. Maybe by a volunteer?
*slaps self* Would postulates be a more correct comparison?
Hmm, Well should Evolution be taught at all? I mean its just a theory isn't it?
It can't be proven until we can see the effects multipule times to make the theory a Reliable fact - This will take millions upon millions of years, so we can't prove it.
Im might be wrong but there isn't really historical accounts for evolution as such, but apperently there is one for creationism... apperently its called Genesis
So i think NEITHER should be taught in schools until either of the THEORY's become FACT
Personally, to be fair, I don't think either should be taught. When the kiddies grow up they'll be able to find out for themselves.
You can't please both ends, and honestly you shouldn't.
Evolution does not make science. It's a part of science,
A quick lesson on evolution that ties into the lesson is okay.
But it becomes a problem when the teacher feels the need to force the students to accept evolution and preaching it like religion.
But parents mind.
Not you can't. Evolution is the foundation of biology and it is found in ALL areas of science just about. Leaving out Evolution would be like leaving out Gravity (since that is also practically found in all areas of science as well WHILE being a theory)Evolution does not make science. It's a part of science, but it doesn't define science. Meaning, you can teach science without deeply touching into evolution.
No teacher 'preaches it' like religion. Most of the time it is a full chapter and many teachers also give out a disclaimer that you have to at least know about it to pass the chapter.And that's what I meant, deeply touching evolution. Like holding class after class dedicated only to evolution. A quick lesson on evolution that ties into the lesson is okay. But it becomes a problem when the teacher feels the need to force the students to accept evolution and preaching it like religion.
That's their problem. Some parents mind that we teach the world is round. Are we going to stop doing that too?But parents mind.
What on earth are you talking about?what is a man who has no voice? It's very apparent here.
