Young Earth creationism

to decide whether or not children have an opportunity to believe in either one? “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). This Bible verse has not only been questioned for thousands of years but has led to some of the most debated, passionate and public court cases and arguments of all time. The major debate over evolution and creationism is whether or not these topics should be taught in school. And if they are taught to students, will be they presented as facts and…

Born August 3rd, 1900, the man who broke the law, John T. Scopes was involved in the “Monkey Trial.” Scopes was a young biology teacher at the time and went on trial for teaching his high school students the theory of evolution. In the play Inherit the Wind, the character Bertram Cates, parallels his real life counterpart, John T Scopes, through breaking the law, being on trial, and life similarities. John and Bertram both dealt with issues on trial. In the play, Bertram Cates was represented…

Creation vs. Evolution Is it more reasonable to believe that life came about all of a sudden by chance in a series of undirected events, or that God created life? Some believe that all life descended from a common ancestor, such as inanimate chemicals that slowly evolved into more complex life forms this is known as evolution. Yet some believe that God programmed to develop in such a way that chemicals evolved to produce mankind. But what does evidence reveal about these non-living chemicals?…

Imagine if you will, a time where belief in God was undoubtably the norm. Picture a science class in an American public school where Creationism is being taught. Imagine the education system being focused on bringing up righteous, morally competent children. Imagine being able to pray to our awesome God before the start of a class. It's pretty hard to do isn't it? In the America we live in, Christianity and it's teachings have been completely rejected in the public schools. Instead of…

Creationism and Evolution one is allowed to be taught in our school the other is banned in all facets of its matter. Evolution is a science subject that teaches our kids a species can develop from a single cell organism. This is an inveigle way of teaching without having proper evidence of this theory, so we are teaching our kids something that is no more than a fairy tale. We don 't teach about God or creationism in public schools because we lack physical evidence of his existence and we don…

In Plato 's the Republic book seven we have the allegory of the cave. This cave represents "...education and [our] want of education..." . The cave is a place that 's dark with almost no light. It 's a place where people are bound. They are chained and they can 't move. They stare at the shadows and shapes on the walls but never get to see the what is truth, the reality that is making that shadow. There are puppet masters who can manipulate the shadows and those who are bound think that what…

It has been an age old debate on whether God exists. Throughout the world there are different beliefs and viewpoints on the topic of the existence of a being that is all-powerful, all knowing, and all-loving. There are the “Theists” those who believe in God and there are “atheists” those who do not believe in God. Along with those there is people who are known as “Agnostic” who have the belief that the existence of God is unknown and unknowable. As there is no physical evidence of the existence…

Even though creationism is clearly supported, there are a lot of people in the scientific community and in society that are strongly opposed to the beliefs of creationists. Evolutionists have gained great support from the government over time and have convinced the courts that creationism shows favoritism towards a religion. Evolutionists argue that the Establishment Clause in the 1st amendment should prevent the government to show favor to any specific religion (“Creationism”, 2015). This is…

reason why creationism should not become part of public school curriculums, first for the fact that it is illegal, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from establishing religion. Requiring that public schools are not to give superior benefits to any religion. Because creationism is a biased on a superior religious view, it is not to be given special privileges by any government body, including public schools. If public schools choose to adopt creationism in to…

theologians, philosophers, and scientists have put forth proposals and taken center stage on debate platforms, for the sake of persuasion over these topics. Charles Darwin is an infamous example, as he theorized on the inklings of the formation of life on Earth. Whether or not someone adopts a faith-based mindset, science is part of God’s creation, with major differences lying in the creation of human beings. The division of science and Christian faith is attributed to Darwin publicizing his…
