  • you may be trying to act clever, but if you think about it, this argument is invalid. Teaching evolution is teaching science. But teaching religion or god is teaching a bunch or fairytales and putting in stupid beliefs into children's heads. Teach science, or teach crap? I think you can make the decision.

  • chuck norris doesnt believe in evolution!

  • Teach Evolution to Children!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • HAHA we should just start teaching them the world is flat again.

  • Fake! You're a liar!

  • nah bra, its all good its natural

  • my right ear disliked this video

  • Richard Dawkins himself even agrees with the bible being taught as Literature.

  • that does not disprove anything about evolution

  • This may be the worst argument I've heard ever. Seriously I have not heard an atheist say you should teach JUST evolution, now I've heard a lot of atheists say let them choose, not just that, but he is saying kids naturally believe in god, but kids also naturally believe in monsters, should we also guide them along with this since it's their natural belief? My favorite part of this video was when he said "we have the expert to back us up"... nice, you guys got THE expert. -_-

  • this guy is so dumb lolol

  • Could a child not naturally believe that their two loving parents are their creators?

    Also, wouldn't the development of our own creations, improved living conditions and a longer lifespan suggest that we are progressing? Or in similar terms - Evolving.

    Oh and I'm currently studying in Oxford, not that that really makes a difference.

  • @adamaguire

    In a biological sense, no, you are not evolving just through those means. Biological evolution is more specific than the colloquial term. Bio. Evolution requires some form of genetics, heredity, natural selection, and a handful of other things. Because of that, the "evolving" you describe is unrelated to the biological process. What you describe is a "technology marches on" kind of thing, which has totally different mechanisms and implications.

  • I, like everyone else on the planet was born an atheist. Some folks are talk that there is a god. Depending on which culture you're born in you'll be taught believe in anyone of a few thousand versions of what god there is and the consequences of believing or not believing in that version of god. That is child abuse.

  • Children do naturally believe in supernatural things, such as fairies, goblins, angels etc. When they grow up they learn more about real things.

  • Teaching children there is an all powerful god who is going to punish you for the sins he put into you is akin to child abuse.

  • We shouldn't introduce children to the concept of god and religion simply because it's all dogma based. Dogma are based on faith. Faith is irrational. Exposing irrational concept as absolute truth to a children incapable of critical thinking and self determination is criminal and severely undermine its future potential as a free thinker. The theory of evolution by natural selection is supported by a staggering amount of empirical evidences put forward by a multitude of scientific disciplines.

  • The person speaking in this video is one of the stupidest people I have ever listened to. Sick, sick, sick mind and the thing is that the person who is mentally sick never knows it. I should feel sorry for you but I don't because I'm sick and tired of listening to the pathetic ramblings of retards. Get some fucking help. SEE A PSYCHIATRIST.

  • you are correct, a bunch of children placed on some island or something will develope a religion or make some adaptation of a godhead. unless one of those children are a child protégé and smart enough to figure evolution out. We should however; not judge those children to harshly, thier minds are simple and undeveloped.,They know no better!

  • Oh wow!

    Children can give us all the answers!

    This makes perfect sense as ALL children have been given an unbiased amount of evidence by their parent on both sides of the debate and are mature enough to make a rational decision!

  • derp

  • i followed the link and read the "report"

    it only states that the author claims such and such

    no data to analyze....just the authors unsupported opinions....

  • @sabin97 the author opinions are correct

    if u put a handful or people in an island without any scientific knowledge.

    as have happen in every past culture their developed brains will naturally try to give explanation to the natural phenomenon they observe

    and for their lack of knowledge they would probably made up any solution to those phenomena that makes their inner self satisfy

    so this guy is actually saying that believing in god is setting human intelligence back thousands years behind

  • if you try to teach children differential calculus they will also have a hard time grapsing the concepts....does that mean they shouldnt teach it?

    in contrast children have a tendency to believe in the tooth fairy, should that be standard education?

    also what god are children born believing in?

    yhwh?thor?lord krishna?jesus?quetzalcoatl?the mighty god ra?some other god?

  • That is bullshit.

    They shouldn't teach them about santa. All the kids in my school cried when they found out he didn't exist, I didn't. I loved laughing at them...

  • It may help ignoramuses like SamiZaatari who know nothing about science that what science "says" when it reports evidence and findings is something like "this is what I have discovered; this is how I discovered it. My findings are tentative and open for scrutiny. Please build on my findings and support or refute them."

    And the more evidence there is in support of something, the more likely we accept it as fact.

    Evolution is a fact. Teach it as such.

    Theology is without such support.

  • It's not that theists are dumb. It's that dumb people can be readily become theists. When someone says "children tend naturally to look for explanations and find answers in design, purpose and agency" (to paraphrase the Oxford scientist) he is not making a case for anything other than the evidence he presents. Quantum physics goes against the human mind. It's not easy. What on earth are you even talking about.

  • Another example of a theist who doesn't understand the difference between teaching children *about* something and teaching them something as if it were incontrovertible fact.

    Saying to a child "Jesus turned water into wine - FACT" and not balancing that out with how implausible it is, how other religions and certainly non-religions deny this as ever having happened, letting them make their mind up when they are older, IS CHILD ABUSE.

  • Er totally wrong, What the Oxford scientist is saying is that we humans like to put a construct and make sense of our environment , we had to while we were evolving. Evolution is a fairly complicated theory that requires some other basic knowledge before grasping it ( Just like the theory of gravity/ electricity/ chemistry/ biology) Teaching scientific facts is not indoctrination, telling children about an angry fearsome god that will punish you forever unless you do what he says is.

  • This argument is absurd. Because children are more prone to something doesn't make it the better option. Children are also more prone to eating anything you put in their hand. Is that the best course of action just eat any object near me when i am hungry? mmmmmmmm paper, yummy. This is more of an issue on the assumptions children(or a younger version of a species) make. If I showed you an object and said I made it, then showed you another object you would assume someone made it as well.

  • So you're saying belief in God is a rather childish. I agree.

  • I can’t imagine what it must be like to be raised in the belief that your birth into this world has somehow thrust you into an unseen cosmic/supernatural battle between good and evil, and that if you don’t “choose Jesus,” you will be burned in a firey pit for all etrnity. This is utterly bizarre by any reasonable standard. Perhaps fantastical beliefs afford some comfort in life, but beyond the age of six or seven, what a waste of a precious human mind to think normally.

  • Evolution is supported by observation and evidence. Religion is supported by old-ass books. Who wins?

  • i win, i am god.

    @jamesliebone 

  • I float even above myself :P up up in heaven.

    @SuperDelusionist

  • you talk like a bigot cunt, the ideals you preach are illogical and biggotistly cuntly, therefore, you are a bigot cunt. the real question is, once you get off your remarkably high horse, are people like you born this stupid or is it done by upbringing?

  • too stupid for Science? Try Religion

  • children also believe in the tooth fairy, Father Christmas

  • good point

  • One expert does not an argument make. Fail*squared.

  • Creation science is totally fucked up!

  • @multisnootylives1 u got that right

  • Although I am not a Muslim, I have to agree with you sir. All very true!

  • Kids, quit your bickering.

  • Algebra is not natural to children's minds. Reading is not natural to children's minds. Should we not teach that either?

  • @conradmolson of course it would be easy for a child to understand god i mean all u have to tell them is there is a guy that can do anything he wants and he runs our life but evolution is a harder topic so of course children would have a harder time understanding evolution than god but that dont make it right

  • @Ignota03 ya it might be complex but look its too complex of evolution also a religous school dose not shove creation down your throat they insted try to get out to know know Jesus more

  • @TheMors666 sure the human cells all have the same DNA but each one has a diffrent job in the body a blood cell cannot become a hair or skin cell thats not possiable scince is on my side

  • @MegaOddly Yes, each cell has a specific function but they don't start that way. The body is capable of generating the cells it needs to do the job it needs.

  • @TheMors666 but also how do we get all the perfect things to live 

  • @MegaOddly I don't know what you're asking with that question. I'm not sure what you mean by perfect (I haven't seen anything in nature which could be described as perfect) or what you mean by all... food, oxygen?

  • @TheMors666 i mean the earth if evalution did happen the earth would not be on the perfect angle to sustain life as i have stated evalution is fake

  • @MegaOddly evolution has absolutly nothing to do with the tilt of the earht

  • @Wagriffin24 your just not manily enough to admin that there is a greater force out there

  • @MegaOddly and ur to stupid to understand the basics of evolution so u hide behind the theory of creationism so ur small brain doesnt have to strain to understand

  • @MegaOddly and it has nothing to do with me being manly or not it has everything to deal with the truth and as it stands there is more proof of evolution that creationism

  • @Wagriffin24 Ummm, there is more proof of evolution than creationism? You serious? Where is the proof then? Show me, saying you have proof without providing them is worst than trolling.

  • @nuomaonk all u need to do is go and read all the scientist reports on evolution they have proven that cells can change and also that animals evolve to adapt there surroundings but where is any proof at all of creationism and dont say the bible because that has no proof just words

  • @Wagriffin24 Scientist prove that cells can change, everyone knows that already; But they couldn't prove where did the cells come from. What do you mean animals evolve? Please don't tell me you believe in Pokemon.

  • @MegaOddly again how are u coming up with this ridiculous crap "if evolution happened the earth would not be on a perfect angle to sustain life" ur an idiot evolution has nothing to do with the angle of the earth nor does it change it any at all

  • @Wagriffin24 ok its like a 1 over 1000000 chance of happening but do u belive in the law of cause and affect

  • @MegaOddly it can be a 1 over 100000000000000000 chance it dont mean anything if there is a chance then it can happen and already has happened and continues to happen

  • @MegaOddly You're misunderstanding evolution; it's not that the earth is perfect for life, it's that life has adapted to suit the environment.

  • @TheMors666 exactly right megaoddly has absolutly no clue what hes talkin about

  • @Wagriffin24 If you want a laugh go back and look at our conversation from yesterday. I got tired of him making up "facts" to support his personal opinions so I started doing it myself. You won't believe the crap I wrote that he ended up believing.

  • @TheMors666 lol hilarious people with small brains will believe near bout anything wont they

  • @Wagriffin24 I don't think he's particularly bright, but it might be a language gap. Regardless, he hasn't read up on anything concerning his opinions either on his position, or oppositions to it. He doesn't understand what he's arguing for, never mind what he's arguing against.

    His problem isn't an IQ issue; he's got a firm belief, there's nothing that can shake that belief to the point he will make up what he wants to keep it, and he won't actively look up anything that could contradict it.

  • "Atheists always say go to the experts...", no believing authority figures is religion. Atheists say understand the arguments.

  • Math and spelling are unatural to the mind. We teach it because it is useful and true.

  • How very sad :( Are you for real?

  • shit, i find maths a bitch. must not be natural, just logical. but wait, if im gay, is that cool aswell? seems easy enough to understand...

  • *sigh* *facepalm*

  • Just wondering. If it is unnatural for our minds to believe in evolution. Where did the idea of evolution come from in the first place? Surely it would have never been considered, if it were "unnatural".

    I, myself, was taught that there was a god. This seemed 'unnatural' to me.

    Of course, if you put people on an island in the middle of nowhere, they will probably think of the natural forces, winds, the sun, etc. to be deities, this is because humans have a tendency to personify things.

  • do you understand the concept of "brainwashing"? any type of successful persuasion is a form of brainwashing. you sell a guy on a t.v. you just brainwashed him. let them hear the options then let them decide, there's plenty of time. because the minute they turn they're back, they're on cartoons and candy, there's more important things to worry about.

  • This video is retarded.

  • @SamiZaatari "it found that children have a natural tendency to believe in a God, a creator etc. What the scientific study found was that actually those children had a hard time to grasp and understand evolution"

    Yes children whould also like to eat candy 24/7, thats why adults need to be there to teach them thise is not a good idea... just like creationism

  • I wonder why can't both theories be taught. I mean, creationism has lost value this days, but it's something that a lot of people actualy believe in and will teach it to their children almost without a doubt; as they grow up, they will start making questions that won't be simply answered with "God made it". I think it's important to consider that both theories are looking for the same, so there's no reason to base our entire knowledge in one because the other doesn't seem logical to us.

  • @Ignota03 but evalution cant work out in any way possable our bodys are to complex for evalution

  • @MegaOddly Because it would be easy as hell for an entity to imagine every aspect of our complex body. Nature itself is complex, buddy, I went to a religious school and they never shove down my throat the idea of the whole universe being created by God. Maybe it's natural for kids to believe in a powerful entity, but for the full-grown minds that is not enough (every knowledge about grammar isn't enough either).

  • @MegaOddly our bodys became complex due to evolution

  • @Wagriffin24 science states a cell can only cell divide to the same cell

  • @MegaOddly unless it undergoes evolution dude if your going to argue this u need to do ur research cause u really dont know anything when it comes to evolution

  • @Wagriffin24 i have learned evalution and i know the truth even the person that came up with evalution is wondering if he is wrong and he is the biggest athiest in the world

  • @MegaOddly also learn to spell

  • @Ignota03 Creationism isn't a theory, it's an idea or a guess.

  • @TheMors666 But that's not gonna stop anyone from believe or teach it, is it?

  • @Ignota03 It won't stop people from believing it, but referring to both evolution and creationism as "just theories" implies they are equal grounds with equal amounts of evidence implies that either is just as likely to be true.

    As a scientific theory, evolution is the only explanation and it has no alternative theories. The scientific community and the Western world in general (with the exception of the US and Turkey) already accept this. Given time, creationism will die off everywhere.

  • @TheMors666 Look, even when I believe in evolution, I have to admit that both ideas/theories might not have equal amounts of evidence, but there are questions that they can't answer, and they will never can. So, as the creationism and evolution have strong and weak points for people, they are valid to be defended. Maybe it won't be like this in a couple of decades, but right now the world is discussing about the origin of the universe, and niether of the positions is going to be denied easily.

  • @Ignota03 what is the evidence for creationism?

  • @joeyjojojnr1981 You're not getting what I say. I personally believe in evolution, but not because of that I have the authority to tell the people what to believe. To make our own opinions we can't just have one "part of the story", we have to inform ourselves and then choose, but as we don't know how the heck the universe was born, we can't reject any theory or idea.

  • @Ignota03 We can reject ideas based on the lack of supporting evidence and we can reject theories based on new evidence. For example the theory that the sun revolved around the earth was superseded by the theory that the earth revolved around the sun.

  • @joeyjojojnr1981 Oh, FFS, I'm talking about rejecting in the sense of not respecting another person's idea. If they're going to defend creationism, fine, they will realize by themselves that it's illogical, but until then nobody has the right to tell them that their beliefs are bullshit. That's all I'm trying to say, nothing about believing everything without questions, did I explain myself?

  • @Ignota03 I understand you, but I dissagree.  I think that it is important that ideas should be scrutinised until they can be shown to have sound merit. No one has the right to tell people they cant believe in creationism, but everyone has the right to say that creationism is lacking in supporting evidence and that it shouldn't be taught in schools as a scientific theory.

  • @joeyjojojnr1981 Well of course not, but it is, and it's sad for me to know that many teachers avoid the evolution theme in biology class because of religion and creationism. I honestly hope this changes somehow, but with guys like this making videos against the theory of evolution it doesn't seem to be possible right now, at least. I'm sure it will get solved by itself, though.

  • @Ignota03 Evolution answers some of the questions as to the reason for the variety of species found on the planet. Big bang cosmology answers some of the questions regarding the origins of the universe. Creationism answers none of these questions.

    The "world" isn't discussing evolution vs. creationism; in the Western world it is an argument only in the U.S. and Turkey, and even then only by laymen. The debate on evolution doesn't exist in the scientific world and hasn't for a century.

  • @TheMors666 This is getting so difficult...

    I'm just asking why can't both explanations be considered, even if one is really virtual and unbelievable for many people. The Big-Bang explains the origin of the universe, but we don't know how that strange mass of elements could be estable until the moment it exploded. It could have been like that forever, maybe we just were lucky, maybe it was God who made it explode and that was his only role in the "creation", I don't know!

  • @Ignota03 You can say "I don't know" to things we don't know yet (which is also the position that science takes). You can say "maybe" to whatever idea you like. Maybe unicorns are real.

    But just because the answer to a question is "I don't know" that doesn't mean you can fill that answer with whatever "maybe" you want and expect people to take it seriously.

    People are free to believe whatever crazy crap they like, but no one should be surprised when they get laughed at or criticized for it.

  • @TheMors666 I'm ending this here, but I really want to explain myself. I'm catholic, and even if I chose to believe in evolution, I know that another person might think different, and he/she has the right to defend his/her beliefs although he/she knows and understands mine. That's all.

  • @Ignota03 I'm not disputing your right to believe whatever you want. What you seem to be arguing for is that just because I don't believe what someone else believes in, even if that belief has no evidence for it (and plenty against it) I should pretend it's not nonsense and/or keep my mouth shut.

    You wouldn't do this for leprechauns, Astrology, UFO sightings, Big Foot sighting and a living Elvis... this is all stuff that has no evidence and can be criticized as such. Why is creationism immune?

  • @TheMors666 creationism is a hypothesis.

  • @SamiZaatari Which God will these children on this Island naturally believe in? Zeus, Thor, Odin, Ra, Celestial Teapot, Flying Spaghetti Monster?

    Maybe evolution has given us a mechanism to cope with things we cannot explain in the same way people naturally avoid snakes or spiders. But now, humanity has entered a phase of understanding our place in the universe, hopefully, this trait will be eliminated from our genes.

    I wasn't being funny with you. I realise you can't help it.

  • If you don't want to teach evolution to kids then do not get a flu shot because that science is base on evolution ! You turkey, you will set your country back to the stone age with believing in myths and legends. Pagan religions were destroyed because they were the source of this myth, Mythra and Eqyptian gods have similiar miracles used in christianity. The bible are just logically ridiculous. Noah's Ark, Jonah and big fish. You would be in the insane asylum these days repeating these.

  • children do believe in a lot of weird things. now why not tell your son that there IS a monster underneath his bed, waiting to devour him.

  • yes halo i do because if u look in the old testament the prophicies there was full filled in the newtestament by Jesus and mors send me the sight i can prove it wrong and as i said it was my guess no one really knows what satan was doing but he was there

  • @MegaOddly I don't remember the site, it happened a long time ago. It was reprinted in a newspaper, but I can't remember which one. Probably the New York Times, but it might have been British. It should be everywhere now.

    What about evolution? Scientists now have indisputable evidence.

  • @TheMors666 ok well it never came to my city so i dont know about it but there is one point (acutally a lot) that never make secne

  • @MegaOddly Everything I've stated is absolute fact. I understand some of it might have technical, so it could be hard to understand but believe me it's all true.

  • @TheMors666 even tho it is "stated" as fact it has flaws like when we evolved in to humans how did our was to reproduce happen that cant happen by chance

  • @MegaOddly It didn't happen by chance, it happened by natural selection.

    As I said, the paleobotantists found a sample from every single generation between all hominid species. It's complete proof, they can literally show every single stage of evolution.

    They even mapped the DNA of every one showing each and every mutation. They did it in two months.

  • @TheMors666 ok well scince proves that a cell can only cell divide into the same cell and accordint to evalution we evolved from an ambia what is still a cell so there scince contrdicts that and it wouldnt happen by natural selection its still by chance they are still the same

  • @MegaOddly No, we can prove that a cell can divide into different cells. If they couldn't then a sperm cell couldn't turn into an entire human. We can even demonstrate this with stem cells.

  • @TheMors666 ok no other cell can cell divide into a nother and a sperm cell was CREATED to become into a baby and evalution dosent explain how we know whats right from wrong

  • @MegaOddly That's also not true because every human cell contains all of the DNA information to make the entire body. It's been mapped entirely in the human genome project. Not every cell can divide into every type but all of the cells that are needed to create a body can do so. We can watch it happen as a fetus grows.

  • @MegaOddly ok let me explain this to u evolution means u evolve and everything basically evolved from the same pool of primordial ooze and the ability to have babys is prob an evolution to lets us live longer

  • @Wagriffin24 we cant evolve not even today there is no proof of it its false

  • @MegaOddly no proof dude u are stupid when a cell undergoes change and comes out better or even slightly different thats evolution it has been proved just like there is a frog able to change its sex that means it had to change its reproductive cells from male to female or vice versa also look at all the animals if evolution didnt exsist we would have the exact same creatures there was back then but no those creatures over time change some slightly some drastic

  • @Wagriffin24 ok God states in the bible he created them "He made the birds of the air fish of the sea and all thr animals that scurry on the groud ACCORDING TO THEIR KIND" that is y a frog is still a frog when it reproduces

  • @MegaOddly but the frogs cells changed from male to female so therefore cells can change and divide and evolve and being able to evolve has been proven do ur research and youll find out that cells can change and evolve therefore any living creature can as well

  • @Wagriffin24 ya our brains our evolving because our socitiy is getting more advanced and even if a frog is male or female its still a frog its not a new spices

  • @MegaOddly u got that bacwards our society is getting more advanced because our brains are evolving and doesnt need to be a new species only stating the fact that cells can change so if cells can change than so can any living creature i also thinks its funny that u just agreed that our brains are evolving ur one step closer to actually knowing something bravo

  • @Wagriffin24 still we are getting more advanced also things our evolveing (a baby with 2 heads) but thats still a human im just stateing we cant evolve into new spices like a dog cant become a human

  • @MegaOddly ur not understanding evolution evolution does not mean a dog can turn into a human evoultion means that over thousands or millions of years creatures adapt grow and evolve into diff creatures evolution does not state that anything can become anything else ill say it again go do some research cause u dont know anything about evolution

  • @MegaOddly oh and a baby with two heads is not an evolution its when the egg starts splittin to become twins but never finishes

  • @Wagriffin24 so its a mutation

  • @Wagriffin24 ok when the outside of our body is diffrent then others like haveing 2 heads its Macro-evalution what is a large scale change in our genic code

  • @MegaOddly no its a deformity or a mutation not evolution a baby with two heads did not evolve those two heads or most babys would be being born with two heads again do some freaking research for u have no clue what ur talkin about

  • @Wagriffin24 I do u guys think evalution is when a spices evolve into a new spices

  • @MegaOddly thats were ur wrong we know not think evolution happens on small and grand scales and the only time that that happened was when life was first starting only evolutions thats happened since is personal evolution within a species and again u have no freaking idea what ur talking about

  • @Wagriffin24 i do know what im talking about i recently learned it

  • @MegaOddly apparently u dont because everything u have said about evolution has been a load of crap and if u were to actually read what evolution is talking about(and if ur small brain can understand it) u would realize that u have no clue

  • @MegaOddly unless that cell goes through an evolution dude u really need to do some research cause u really have no idea what ur talkin bout when it comes to evolution how bout u go study some more then come back when u can actually make sense

  • @Wagriffin24 IF EVOLUTION WAS TRUE WE SHOULD STILL BE EVOLVING TODAY AND WE ARE NOT

  • @MegaOddly thats where ur wrong sir we are still evolving today but unlike all other animals the only thing evolving in us is our brains and that has been proven i said it once ill say it again u need to do research since u have no idea

  • Evolution is beautiful.

  • amazing that people still believe in religion, with our level of brainpower... I suppose we're also free to be stupid as well

  • @cascading11x its all because people are to scared of the fact that theres nothing controlling them other than thereselves and that this life is the only one so they make up things to make themselves feel better at least thats how it started out now u got all these religious people forcing there religion down there childrens throat and anytime anything comes up questioning their beliefs they atomatically shun it and forbid their kids from having anything to do with it

  • der is a gud i have sene him myslef

  • Well, i think its way easier for a kid to understand:" A guy in the sky with a magic wand created everything in a week" than to understand different theories about the the creation of life and the universe. This remains until now the greatest mystery ever, no matter what religious persons say.

  • i love how you go and find the one scientist that says evolution is wrong. 1 out of hundreds of thousands. guess who kinda won there :)

  • "If oxen and horses and lions had hands or could draw with these hands, horses would draw pictures of gods like horses and oxen like oxen, lions like lions and the gods would resemble the bodies each species possesses." - Xenophanes c. 500 BCE

  • okay, then don't teach them anything, and let them believe in god, but then again don't brainwash them with a religion and all the bullshit that these involve.

  • The human mind is PROGRAMMED to look for answers and solutions, at all ages. That's why we're at the top of the food chain today. So the children experience the world and look for explanations about why this or that occurs. If left to their own devices, they will probably agree on some simple theory. But teaching kids evolution teaches them proven facts about what humans have discovered so far. They can still believe in God -its just NOT a subject for SCHOOL.

  • YES! Don't teach your children about evolution, Keep them stupid! is this what you're saying? that since children won't understand it, then they shouldn't be taught it... so, kids don't know how to read in the beginning, don't teach them! they don't know how to count in the beginning, don't teach them... THIS is what you are saying, PLEASE! DON'T GET KIDS!!!

  • yeah kids also think fairytales are true.. whats your point?

  • Uhh no. Evolution is fact. Religion is fiction. Teaching kids that religion is fact when they're too young to call bullshit is the same as teaching them that the 3 little pigs actually did have a close encounter with the big bad wolf. It's fucking nonsense.

  • So what if it might be unnatural to the mind of a child? Space ship also seems unnatural for a child if he's raised in fucking forest, you fucking idiot.

  • Idiot.....Evolution applies to every living being and micro organism.

    and you expect children to understand evolution?

    Darwin only speculated on Evolution...Later researchers only confirmed it and proved it to be true with modern science.

    It's not a Theory anymore...it's a well known common fact.

    Religious people ridicule Evolution , since it contradicts their belief system.

    They just cant accept it so they make all kind of BS on internet nowdays...wat's useless anyways.

    

  • I'm not saying don't teach your children about god, just don't teach them about anything that you cannot prove or at least provide convincing evidence for.

  • Children also believe in the tooth fairy n Santa. Here's what you should do. Tell them there are two mind sets in the world one believes x and the other believes y. It should be your choice, as to what you decide to believe. Then supply them with both x and y's sides and see where they go from there. You talk of abuse, try becoming undoctrinated. In my opinon it's abuse to keep them in the dark.

But I guess you mean take totally out of the education system. So here my reply...all schools find time to teach religion, we call it R.E in the UK, and schools get time to teach science. You learn both to pass exams no one makes you convert.

  • @JustB3NJI I'm 17 and can't remember being taught about evolution. The schools I went to weren't religous either, even though I was taught R.S. too. And you're right, they don't make you convert. But it's just weird that although I don't remember being taught evolution, it just seemed so obvious that we evolved from apes 'cos of si
