But isn't both creationism as well as evolutionism both taught in school? The former in religion class and the latter in science class.

Seems to me they should teach religeous studies right along beside history and social studies.How can you possibly separate them?If everyone understood how other people believe,we might be more tolerant and get along better.
(Hi there X)

Actually, I think the story goes that Adam and Eve were created by God, and at the time I don't believe they had any religious affiliation. After millenia of procreation a group called the Israelites emerged, and well, the story just takes off from there.......

Koasati, unless things have changed in the few years it is since I went to school, most schools in the UK teach Religious Education. The subject covers most religions and their beliefs.

Yes, I remember RE at school. I remember also commenting in one of my essays that I thought we were supposed to be at school to learn fact rather than fiction.

All primitive cultures need something almighty to explain away ordinary things they don't understand. Once man evolves into a more knowledgeable being such relics of the past will no longer be of importance.

Paxx,
hehe
not only did we not get religious studies, I can assure you we didn't get values or morals either


Please tell me I am not the only one that was so crudely educated!
I had
no religious studies
no morals
no values
and no evolution either.

K...
Well I got loads of that from my parents, yes indeed.
I am glad you did too.

Creation just seems cooler than evolution. Evolution has too many syllables.

...lets not talk about the separation of church and state.

mmm, my mother taught Sunday School and my brother was an alter bot, Red dress with White Smock over the top of it ( used to pick on him about it until he would hit me )...

It is not only death insurance it is also better than Ajax cause it takes all stain out...

People can do as they like 6 days a week and on the 7 th bow their head and be free to walk out the door ready for another week of Do Unto others and then split...

Not all, but many and most of those in my life...

Once humanity can get past having to have someone to pass things on they do not wish to deal with and also accept the fact that they own their actions and no one else has that responsibility things might change. Until they it not only functions as death insurance, and co-dependency but at also has the value added feature of giving reason to go out and kill others in many instances...

I remember after 9/11 on the CNN chat and reading as all these people ranted about having to kill Muslims because they wanted to kill use first. That the whole religion must be destroyed and the people converted to Christianity for the worlds sake.

Kinda sat me back on my heals reading that crap, It also pretty much proved to me that we have just as many fanatics running around ( at least in type on the net where it is safe to be a fanatic ) as any other religion. But that the biggest difference is, the Islamic Fanatics are ready to kill or die to put their fanaticism into action, and those on the net wanted others to do it for them.

Anyone notice how frantic people get over Movies, Game System Games, PC Games, TV and such and how it is destroying the moral fiber of this nation. How it is the cause for kids killing kids, or the ones out robbing people and such. Yet at the magical age of ( 17 to enter the Armed Services ) and 18 ( to be in action and War Zones )
the once fledgling child whom needed those peoples protection from the nasty evil media turn around and find nothing wrong with them going off to kill and die as long as it suites their purposes?

anyway...

To many things, to many people, to many religions, lots of Creating and not enough Evolutions, seems to me...

exactly and will continue until the end...

paxx go away...

hehe

if there is no end we sure will be in trouble drinking, eating and breathing since our water, food and air are getting pretty messed up by us monkeys causing us to live much shorter lives...

Doreen see the life expectancy of humans one day being 5 years old...

actually don't laugh too hard about that, I can't remember what grade but I had to write an paragraph about what I thought the future would be like and me being shy would not stand up in front of the class so the teacher read it outloud for me and the class laughed and in it, I said in the future we would be paying for pure air cuz the air would be so bad we would have to pay for it

and I seen a shop over here a couple years back that ppl are going into to pay for pure oxygen to breath for 15-20 or so mins on their lunch hours to rejuvenate their minds and body during their work days at lunch time... weird huh? (insert twilight music here)
