Re: Why not Teach Evolution at Sunday School
quote:
A Biblical teaching of Creation is not likely but a scientific teaching of creation is what many would consider a reasonable request.
Ok, what is the testable hypothesis of creation?
How can that hypothesis you are about to provide be falsified?
What is the evidence supporting the testable and falsifiable hypothesis that you were just about to present?
How does it better explain the cumulative data from paleontology to molecular biology better than competing hypotheses or theories?
Can't answer the above questions? Then that explains why creationism is neither a science and why it should not be taught in a science class at a public school.
quote:
Many polls would seem to indicate this.
And you think scientific facts are determined by polling? Great idea, 85% of American kids under 5 probably believe in Santa Claus so Santa must be a fact..great way to determine things
quote:
Also, pick up a Catechism of the Roman Church, written in 1996 by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. The Roman Church does not support the evolutionary beliefs that modern evolutionists hold dear.
Why should scientists care what the Catholic church advocates or does not advocate?
