Teaching Creationism in Schools

How has intelligent design been proven? There is no real world evidence outside of religious text that supports it in any possible way. All you have to do is apply the scientific method to it. If it can't really be tested then right away it is deemed wrong. You can't prove creationism anymore than I can prove that there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

I know. Me too. But lots of people need that comfort. It's a phycological defense against fear of the future, death and all the other things we can't just explain away with some sort of evidence. Yes illogical in most cases, but harmless. The dangerous part comes when they teach "destroy all non believers" in that case, very bad. Also, it's dangerous to be taking this idea with us into the future. It is stunting our growth as an intellectual civilization in the universe.

not a matter of proof? so you're saying "faith" is believing something you know is impossible. im sorry, im a man of logic.

Believing isn't God a matter of proof. It's a matter of faith. There is nothing wrong with that. People have always and will always have ideas of a grand creator. HOWEVER: Believing in creationism and our origin, needs proof. It dabbles into the realm of science. Creationism is going the way of the dinosaurs my friend. With all the evidence supporting evolution, Why would we not want to teach it?

no it wasn't. if it was, i'll love to see the evidence. i'll believe in god if you can actually prove it.

Keep sticking your fingers in your ears, your doing a great job. :)

Actually, Intelligent Design has been proven - but people such as yourself are not willing to consider the facts. You need to consider everything, instead of just the "facts" that suit your belief. You have yet to prove it wrong and you have only proved that your hateful towards those who would rather take their fingers out of their ears regarding science. :)

there are some smart people, its a shame there are so many retard pulling you down

Teaching creationism or ID would be like teaching children the world is flat, or the earth is imobile at the center of the universe, they both have no place in our world.

exactly! we don't teach that the world is flat because we proved it's not. same thing with intelligent design, we know it's not true, we proved it wrong, so we musn't teach it.
