Forums - General - The fight over Darwin - Teaching evolution in schools

This is boring. Everyone so far has agreed with the article. Come on, radical anti-freedom sword-totting cross-bearing islam-denying christofascists! Make your appearance and case! Mums the word.

I agree. Replace RE with Philosophy. Get rid of the abomination that is a state funded faith school.



Mmh... I'm all for replacing it with philosophy and ethics. Those are pretty good subjects for having a clue about and we didn't have them until 10th grade at my school.
Then again we had nothing religious at all either so that was a plus.

cool, philsophy would be good for people to learn, I know its something I would have liked to have learned, I think they should also have Politics classes at school, so young people are better informed about policys and the government and stuff.

That evolution is already being taught, and that these polls reflect years of evolution being taught in the classroom.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,

Yeah... well there is one thing to note about Gallup Polls.

You don't get shit for doing them.

So your really only going to answer the poll questions if you want to.

Evoution is what we'd call a "one sided" issue.

One side feels very strongly about it and would want to talk about it... while the otherside really doesn't care.

 

I mean if someone asked you if you wanted to take a poll about evolution... a multple question poll... what are the chances you would actually stay on the phone if you believed in evolution?

A lot less then if you thought you were representing your faith... etc whatever.

As such i'd guess the numbers are  abit overinflated.

 

That's why most studies tend to offer compensation.  A little token thing... but it's enough to get people to spend 10 minutes of their day.



*Sigh* I was gonna post something worthwhile in here, but then I realized that intolerance is running rampant on this topic so far. Meh, not worth my time, it's not like I could change your minds anyway. Later!

funny, I don't see any posts here that could be labeled as "intollerant", perhaps you have a different definition of the word?
