Creation DOES need to be taught with evolution

I never heard of Lamarckism in any classes and neither has my son.

I did!It was in the "Nature of Scientific Inquiry" class I took in College.

People all the time refer to the world as circular or round.

Yes, but so what?If it's true that the people who wrote the Bible knew that the earth was a sphere, then why do they refer to the firmament as a dome and not another "circle?

quote:

Imo, according to Genesis one, there is no need to teach a young earth, because it doesn't necessarily say the earth was created on day one. It simply says when the heavens and the earth were created, God did it.

Well, in somebody else's opinion who interprets the Bible differently than you do (such as everyone at the ICR), there is most certainly a need to teach a young earth.See, all there is in your scenario is interpretation of the Bible, and each of the hundreds and hundreds of denominations in this country teach something different.Not to mention that in the west, the Native Americans and Shinto will want their creation stories taught in science class, and in the northeast the Muslims, Hindus, and Bhuddists will all want their stories taught.
