Creation/Evolution Controversy in scientific curriculum
This paper Will be focused on the Issue of discrimination against creationism in a scientific curriculum in higher education as a science. I will argue that many of the objections that have been leveled against creationism rather if this is illegal or not if not why and also why do evolutionist serious objection toward the Idea for allowing creationism especially to be taught in public education. Creationism education can be met and that, on the whole, creationism is a rather plausible theory. Nevertheless, I will admit that one serious objection remains by its legal statues to discriminate student. However, this does not mean we should reject the theory of creation and revelations, for it message just because science should be natrulistic, as I will show, creationism philosophers facing tremendous discrimination against at the scientific level according as it is stated in the (CRA)Civil Right Act that prohibit any kind of discrimination in U.S based on religion. While on the other hand, it is important because student should not be discriminated against

mainly due to the wording controversy debate. honestly, I do not see it wrong with offering religion as courses at any academic institute, but what is wrong here is we cannot call creationism as science. as an example. in geology one will study fossil record he/she can touch, examine and experimenting while observing empirically and as a result to this we see the fossil history and its connection to other things around us. while on the other hand, creationist, cannot bring an eye and say it is God's well made it this way. But to find a common ground for these two externs in such argument here, that creationist can teach their theories and there is no objections to that, but not as a science or attempting to replace scientific theory of

    The Theory of Evolution, conducted by Charles Darwin brought a grateful amount of controversy in the science and education fields today. Debates between is Darwin’s evolution theory correct and if it should be taught in schools. Many disagree that Darwin’s theory should be taught in public schools because it is not proven and it’s a religious belief. Yet Darwin’s theory has all the characteristics of applying to science education. Teaching evolution in public schools wouldn’t change one’s morals or beliefs.…

    God declares in Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Everything is created by Him. All truth is God’s truth. Science should be the subject to glorify God’s greatness and intelligence. However, public schools bring the untrue theory into science—evolution.…

    Creationism Argument

    Creationism is the most obvious choice when people wonder how our earth originated, because it has the most evidence. However, many people believe that evolution is the best answer to the question of how our earth began. Although many people believe in evolution, there is no evidence that has shown to be valid. Furthermore, evolution states that organisms have evolved into the state they are in now, when no intermediate fossil forms have ever been discovered. Lastly, the evolutionary theory has never given any notable evidence explaining or demonstrating the origin of any new species.…

    In the United States, many people feel strongly about what their kids and students should be taught in a science class- evolution or the bible's creation story. In 2005 in Kansas City, Kansas, the state's school board of education was questioning whether or not to teach Intelligent Design, the theory that an intelligent being created the universe and all living things, in their science curriculum. A man named Bobby Henderson who didn’t want Intelligent Design to be taught in schools sent a satirical letter to the board explaining that you can’t show favoritism to one God. He hoped that this would show the board that if you teach Intelligent Design you’d have to teach all religions including his belief in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, called…

    Evolution versus Creationism has been discussed for many years, and it is still being discussed by majority of people. Each sides whether evolution or creationism have convincing arguments and reasons why their opinions aren’t correct, but which theory is the more probable one? Both Evolution and Creationism have very different ideas. Creationists generally believe that all organisms were created as single, distinct organisms, but people who support evolution think that life started from single celled organisms such as bacteria, then evolved into organisms, changing over time, some even into different, distinct animals through evolution since continuous evolution over a very long period of time can result in the development of new varieties…

    Since the topic of creationism against evolution is ongoing, all the authors had similar views on the controversy. The first author Robert E. Kohler released his article in 1987 meaning that he had not yet experienced the court cases that went on throughout the 1990s and there were still many unsolved on the problems in the school systems. Kohler is a professor of both history and sociology sciences making him credible for this topic but not necessarily unbiased. His article persuaded the support of science and its research more than support for the fundamentalists. Kohler touched up on the crucial historical points of what was going on but focused mainly on the problems the science society was facing.…

    Critiquing the Concept of NOMA In Non-Overlapping Magisteria, Stephen Jay Gould argues that religion and science do not contradict each other because each have separate magisterial, or domains of teaching authority. He claims that values and ethics are within the magisterium of religion, while empirical facts and theories are within the realm of science, and the two magisteria do not overlap. Gould claims that NOMA is a principled position that is supported on moral and intellectual grounds; however I argue that science and religion do contradict each other, and religious claims should be subject to empirical and philosophical investigation. Gould immediately begins by discounting all creationist views as illegitimate because “creationism is a local and parochial…

    Creationism should not be taught instead of actual science, or in Public Schools. In the case that you are wondering what it even is, the following sentence is the definition of creationism:”The belief that the universe and living organisms originate from specific acts of divine creation, as in the biblical account, rather than by natural processes such as evolution.” As stated by Google. But that is what it is. A creation “science,” which does not make much sense, considering the fact that science is an intellectual understanding of practically everything, through observation and facts.…

    Thin lines draw the obscurity between the belief of creationism and the concrete evidence of evolution; making today’s world a precarious place. First and foremost, many scientists and I myself included appreciate the years of research you have done on plant genetics at Cornell University. However, I hope you can address some concerns I have on your views supporting creationism. In most scientific circles, it is commonly accepted that the evidence of evolution is conclusive and based in both observation and research. Therefore, I would like to take the time to explain my views supporting evolution.…

    The argument between creation and evolution has been mostly taken from a very technical scientific point of view. Not usually form a moral, philosophical stand point. Science states what can be observed and seen. It cannot tell how the earth was formed or why it was formed. In order to make these arguments make sense, one needs to understand the effect of morality in each of the two arguments.…

    2) Did you take biology in high school? And 3) If you took biology in high school, did your biology class emphasize a) evolution but not creationism, b) creationism but not evolution, c) both evolution and creationism or d) neither evolution nor creationism? “(Moore 2007) Fifty-one percent of public high school attendees reported that they learned that creationism is a scientific alternative to evolution. While on the other hand fifty-three percent of high school students that attended a private school was taught that creationism is more a religious idea than a scientific theory.…

    In many studies, high school biology teachers do not go in depth of the evolution lesson; these teachers feel that it is not their place to talk about religious views with their students. The United States has laws against teaching religion, and teaching religious views is uncomfortable for teachers and students who do not follow views of a church. Creationism should not be taught in public school, as it involves many religious outlooks. Creationism is the doctrine that matter and all things were created, substantially as they now exist, by an omnipotent Creator, and not gradually evolved or developed (“Creationism”).…

    It may be hard to imagine, but there once was a time when science as we know it today did not exist. During the Roman empire, when Christianity itself was getting started, medicine was a basic, if not crude, practice; mathematics was used chiefly for business and surveying; and astronomy was closely associated with astrology. There were no readily identifiable forms of chemistry, physics, or biology, although the civil engineering of roads, buildings and aqueducts had developed through trial-and-error experience. It would be a mistake, however, to conclude that people back then were stupid and ignorant: classical Greek and Roman scholars put their intellectual efforts into philosophy and ethics because the systematic study of nature was not…
