How can you support Christian Creationism being taught in public schools as science?

Scientists have gathered an immense amount of data as far as fossils and other geographic evidence, and from this evidence some have theorized evolution as the explanation. Creation science takes these same facts and comes up with a different theory. If evolutionists would stop shouting down any mention of creationism and examine our theory, then make their judgements concerning which is more likely, evolution or creation, they may be surprised. But they're afraid the evidence overwhelmingly will support creationism, which I believe it does. If anyone is a true scientist, he must examine all of the evidence, theories explaining that evidence, and then decide which is the most likely explanation. Check out the online book linked below if you dare.

Creationism is not a science. And in response to the first answerer, I acknowledge that Christian scientists have the capability to be brilliant. Yes, Newton and Kepler, etc were Christians. But just because you are a Christian does not automatically mean you believe in Creationism! I know Christians who believe that Evolution was started by God and they think Creationism is not a science, just a theory. If Creationism is a science, then so is Alchemy. And therefore Alchemy should also be taught alongside Chemistry, should it not? Also, if Creationism is allowed to be taught in public schools, then HEY What about other world religions? I'm sure Islam and Hinduism have their own theories. And about the Norse mythology? If you are to teach Creationism then I demand that all possible theories of world creation are represented. It is only fair, right?

Scientific evidence which supports creationism can be found at http:.//www.icr.org and http://www.answersingenesis.org/

We do not insist that it be taught alone, but alongside evolutionary theory, which is taken by faith as true, and not proven fact. There are some things within evolutionary theory which are true, such as gene mutation and varieties within a kind of animal, but many other things have never been even somewhat adequately proven, such as abiogenesis and macro-evolution, one kind of animal becoming another.

The truth is, most atheistic evolutionists do not want creationism taught alongside their theory. For if God is real, and creationism is true, then they will have to be accountable to God for their actions, and they do not want that. So they insist that only evolutionary theory be taught so they can blissfully continue denying the existence of God, of which there is plenty of evidence.

People fail to realize what a Scientific Theory actually is:

As used in science, a theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning, especially one that has been tested and confirmed as a general principle helping to explain and predict natural phenomena. Before a theory is given any credence in the scientific community, it must be subjected to "peer review." This means that the proposed theory must be published in a legitimate scientific journal in order to provide the opportunity for other scientists to evaluate the relevant factual information and attempt to duplicate any experimental procedures involved.

Creationists refuse to subject their "theories" to peer reviews, because they know they don't fit the facts. The creationist mindset is distorted by the concept of "good science" (creationism) vs. "bad science" (anything not in agreement with creationism). Creation "scientists" are biblical fundamentalists who can not accept anything contrary to their sectarian religious beliefs.

Creationism is NOT a theory

I do not mind various creation stories being taught in the appropriate classes. I have no problem with any one believing in their creation story.

Creationism as it is pandered on the web and in books is a bold faced lie and should not be taught to anyone.

They already have church to teach creationism. Why bring it into school? Each, Creationism and Science should be taught equally. Science in school, Creation in Church. But schools should have classes about religion only. Non-mandatory of course.

No disrespect to anyone.

Inresponse to Chist. There may be evidence. But is there Emprical evidence?

I don't think it should be taught as a science.

I think it should be offered as an elective Humanities, in a comparative religion course.

I also think Origin of Man (the idea that we came from apes) should be an elective in Science.

Evolution can be taught in science.

Evolution is fact, origin is theory.

It shouldn't be, UNLESS christians want to teach evolution in religious class. Likewise, if creationism is required the teacher should have the option what creation myth is being taught.

It's like the copyright to a fanfiction, you ought to put a disclaimer on it saying: "this is not my own work, but the work of square-enix. I do not make any money off of this story. No hamsters were hurt during the making of this story, nor were spiders squished."

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

i will not go to science if you freaking adults try to push your views on us kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

evolution is not taught at my school and neither is creation.

creation has no place in the science classroom and saying "the trees are proof" is just another way of saying that there is no proof.

if you want your kids to learn about how god magically created everything then homeschool them.
