Since this whole BC/BCE issue has been going on, I have been getting involved with many conversations on religion. This supposedly taboo topic, at parties and work, is always a great conversation....and or debate.
One of the issues I brought up the other day is the teaching of Evolution and ignoring Creationism in our public schools.
Based on these few assumptions, I make the claim that we actually teach a minority point of view in our school systems.
Assumption 1:
Most people in the US, and around the world for that matter, believe in a "god". We did a little Googling on the topic and found that over 75% believe in God and another 15% did not know and the rest did not believe there as any sort of a supreme being.
Assumption 2:
When teaching evolution....God never comes into the picture. We came from the big bang....we were monkeys...we dropped the tail and started using cell phones and drinking Starbucks...OK I am being sarcastic.
Assumption 3:
Most if not all science making claims about a big bang...evelution...what happened millions of years ago....are all guesses. They may be very good guesses...but they are still guesses. Funny thing about science and theories...they change,,,ie the world is really not flat.
If you can bite off on these assumptions, then you will agree that we teach to the minority when ignoring creationism and only teach evolution.
Evolution is an atheist slant on how the world came to be. Realize most people of God believe in Evolution....of course with a little help!! With less then 10% of the population believing that there was not any supreme being "helping" the world start, we are truly catering to their beliefs.
