"What scientific findings disprove evolution?" (someone posted this question earlier)
What scientific findings prove it!?!
I have had two "Anthropology" (aka evolution) classes at the UofU. They can't prove evolution. They can prove genetic drift, but not evolution. Survival of the fittest? Okay, then where did love come from? They don't know, they caugh it up to "altruistic" behavior. Altruism hardly explains it and they know it. Darwin even admitted he knew it as well.
Evolution was a theory developed by Darwin. Darwin, in his later years, admitted the theory was "interesting" but he did not believe it was the path of mans existence. You are teaching a theory developed by a scientist that doesn't believe his theory.
In 1787 the founding fathers passed a law that said all public schools should have a bible for each student. They wanted religion taught in school, obviously, or they would not have passed the bill.
Let's talk about evolution. It is explaining where we came from right? Okay, we came from a mud puddle somewhere in the form of some emeba? Where did that mud come from? Where did the planet come from? Where did the matter for the planet come from? Since matter can not be created or destroyed, right? Where is the edge of space, for that would truely be the beginning? There is no edge, for if there were there would be no space, in its truest form.
Emmerson believed in God, Washington believed in God, Eddison believed in God, Darwin believed in God, Einstein believed in God, and many many many more men smarter than I, believed in God. Eternity giving you a problem, having a hard time believing we could live forever, count to the end of numbers and see if eternity exists. Ahhh, it does.
We need a balanced education. Teach the theory of evolution, but balance that with the teachings of other beliefs in the world. Teach in history class that the most famous man that ever lived is Jesus Christ. There is no doubt that he lilved. There is no talk of him in school. The most famous man ever to come into existance and no one speaks of him in the public school. Does "public" school really represent the "public"?
Thank goodness for Bush! He wants to give me MY money back through some tax breaks so that I can afford to take my children to a private school where the children will receive an education from teachers who know they are the service provider and I and my children are the customer. The customer is always right.
