Should Evolution Be Taught In Schools Research Paper

Improved Essays
Evolution, a controversial topic about the teachings of life and the origins of modern creatures. Some think that evolution is true and some don’t. Some think that we came from an ancestral ape creature, some don’t. Some do not believe evolution should be taught in schools however because it is similar to believing in god. Although it is similar in teaching, evolution teaches a backwards form of life, almost to the point of being evil. Evolution in school teaches kids that life is meaningless and that we are all apart of a giant accident. Evolution should not be taught in schools because it is giving people the wrong idea of life and the most backwards way of human existence.
Evolution was designed to escape religion in all. By creating a theory to escape the belief in a god, Charles Darwin has changed science as we know it. He not only created a theory with 0 evidence and didn’t believe it himself, but got smart scientists today to agree with it. Even though there are many loopholes and missing pieces in the theory, people believe it is absolute truth and is already fact. People are being changed because of the theory of evolution, mostly in bad ways, to not be as kind and friendly with other

Science is about knowing about our world from our senses like seeing, and hearing, and touching. If there is no physical evidence of anything important, like the origin of man, then how can we call this fact and tell kids that it’s true? Most of these “facts” that we are told is total nonsense that they just try to throw at you so you believe them. Monkey to man, or men with monkey brains? These scientists are no better than politicians, always lying and giving misinformation. Even if evolution may teach kids about human biology and life, doesn’t mean we can’t take evolution out without keeping those important things in. Evolution isn’t the key to biology, science

    Therefore, the Butler Act “held unconstitutional statutes prohibiting the teaching of evolution as violative of the First Amendment” (Linder, 2008, Retrieved from http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/scopes/appctdec.htm). The case of “Epperson v. Arkansas, 393 U.S. 97, 89 S.Ct. 266, 21 L.Ed.2d 228” aided in this disapproval of the Butler Act.

    Back in 1925, the school board had a law (Butler Act) that evolution (the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth) or any theory of creation other than the biblical Creation could not be taught in public schools. This law was targeted at English scientist Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, which was that human had ascended from apes. Some people did not agree with this law but others did. One man in particular did not agree with this law, so he tested it. A man by the name of John Scopes (high school science teacher) taught the theory of evolution in class.…

    Throughout history there have been many debates about whether or not evolution and the Bible should be taught in public schools. In fact, there was once a court case, the Scopes Trial, in which many issues had arisen and were resolved about this controversy. One of the main issues discussed was a debate on evolutionism being taught in school. Clarence Darrow, an atheist lawyer, asked William Jennings Bryan, a devout and vocal politician and a Christian, a series of questions in regards to what Bryan believed to be true about the Bible. Darrow later then explained that science had said otherwise about certain issues which even today are still referred back to .…

    One who has encountered the Scopes Trial will understand that there is conflict in society as to whether or not, Christianity or Evolution should be taught in a classroom. Most of those with a secular world view will stand behind their belief that, for science classes in particular, evolution should be the building blocks of the students’ knowledge. On the other hand, individuals with a Christian worldview will stand by their belief that the Bible and its truth should be the foundation of education.…

    “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change” – Charles Darwin. Evolution is “the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth”. The theory of evolution has become one of the most controversial topics in science because of how the public reacts to the contents of the theory. The theory is controversial because it posses the debate of whether God or a supreme being played a role in the process of evolution or that humans have evolved naturally over time. Many opponents of the theory argue that science is a knowledge that can only be repeated, demonstrated, and observed and evolution can only be believed in.…

    Riley 1 Why is Evolution so important? Some might ask this because of the confusion drawn over the topic. However it is one of the most intriguing scientific theories that exists today. Evolution is far more interesting than the Theory of Gravity, or Germ Theory. This one addressed many age old questions, such as what is our place in this world, and where did we come from.…

    Many decades ago, evolution was a very sensitive subject that was not allowed in the classrooms. The high school biology teacher John Scopes was “charged with illegally teaching the theory of evolution” (The monkey trial 1) and Scopes was found guilty and fined $100 , but the verdict was overturned on a technicality. The bizarre trial drew a lot of attention on the subject of evolution and it represented a “significant setback for the anti-evolution forces” (6). In fact, “Of the fifteen states with anti-…

    This means that some students may actually want to learn about how we as humans became so developed throughout the millions of years we’ve been on this planet. It’s a crucial part of school to be able to learn about how we evolved from other species that came before us. Parents can keep that from their own child if they choose to do so, but keeping it from millions of other children isn’t a fair choice. Teachers believe students should learn evolution no matter what religion they are so they can have a mind of their own and decide what they believe in and what they…

    Evolution is the theory used to describe exactly why life on earth changes the way it does. It is evident that all things change throughout time, but understanding the reason behind these changes can be infuriating. In Evolution for Everyone, David Sloane Wilson bonds the basic concepts of evolutionary theory with different disciplines such as: art, religion, language, and pro-social behaviors. Wilson establishes a unity between the evolutionary theory and the development of culture, language, art, and other disciplines. Wilson describes the basics of evolutionary theory for the readers who may not be well acquainted with it.…

    I believe that the anthropological evidence for revolution is the study of and scientific confirmation that there was living and non-living things slowing developing throughout the years through science. Some things may be proven to have existed through science by testing it, but not many. Creationists believe that God created heaven and earth. A couple of the creationist’s perspectives are that evolutionism is not an accurate scientific theory and they argue on the fact on whether or not evolutionism should be taught in public schools; they believe that all creations come from God.…

    “It is no the strongest of species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” This quote was once said by the father of evolution himself, Charles Darwin who spent his life’s work on learning all he can about evolution. In the world we live in all organisms change, and were not the same thousands of years ago as they are today. There are two main theories to this process; scientific theory and religious theory.…
