Should evolution or creationism be tought in schools?

Interesting point. I shall add my two cents worth. Creationism can be observed as a science. That is what phenomenolgy is about. 1. A philosophy or method of inquiry based on the premise that reality consists of objects and events as they are perceived or understood in human consciousness and not of anything independent of human consciousness. Psychologists and sociologists utilize this form of research methodology often. Our awareness is often our judge. We can observe (i.e.-________) and heighten our sense of awareness of the observed.

We can observe the perfect form of matching butterfly wings on one butterfly. We can observe the dance of bees (method of communication). We can observe an embryo. We can even calculate distances of planets, gestation of human pregnancy, and many other phenomenological experiences. Now one may say these observations do not have any special meaning. Well, we therefore, give it meaning. Our intellect can ask questions and seek meaning based on the observatons and calculations we have incurred at that time.

Back to square one. One can then believe that there is a devine creation for such phenomena or one can say this is a coincidence. Yet the preponderances of coincidences in the universe leads, inevitably, to the thought that -"maybe their is a creator for such occurances". We can also use the analogy of a computer and its software. A computer by itself is nonintelligible as a method of lanquage. Yet when we program it with software it becomes intelligible.

Creationism in the Bible is to sybolize God and how he made us in his image.  Evolution is scientifically accurate.  If it is a Christian school than both should be taught.  If it is not then only evolution should be taught because they may not believe in the Bible.

Creationism should not be taught in public schools. Religion is a private matter, lets try to keep the government out of it ok? Religion is one of humanity's greatist gifts, but religion is a human institution and as such is not above entertaining political ambitions. If Galileo Galilei hadn't challenged the curch doctrines of his time most westerners would probably still think that the idea of the earth revolving around the sun as just heretical fantasy.

I personally am suspicious of self-rightious scientists who make it a point of honor to systematically refute religion, but at its core ideal science is unbiased in a way that religion almost never is.

"without creationism, the theory of evolution wouldn't have existed in the first place."

Where can I find evidence on that? I really want to know, I'm not making a arguement against you.

At some point in time, no matter what someone would come up with idea of evolutions existence. We are an inquizitve and a explorer species. Its in our nature to look for and to understand things. When we couldn't explain something religeon was created to make someone higher then themselves, that would know all. Our leaders are to lead us and give answers, humans are a race to be lead and when something can't be explained by our own kind we look for the person with the answers which happens to be a god or some other supernatural being.
