A ‘pet peeve’ of mine is the teaching of ‘evolution’ as fact when,
IN FACT
it has never been proven!
It has never been proven! Don’t get me wrong… I am not a ‘dyed in the wool’ creationist either, but I think it an abomination that so called ’scientists’ can teach as fact something that is only a theory, that being, “evolution”. Any realistic, honest person who has studied both sides knows that evolution has, not only, never been proven, but many leading evolutionists totally disagree with each other. Evolution is a theory that should be taught as such!I am speaking here of public education, of course. What is taught in a private school is up to the teaching staff of the school.
”$27 million museum near Cincinnati has drawn snickers from media…” click here.
[Opponents argue that children who see the exhibits will be confused when they learn in school that the universe is 14 billion years old rather than 6,000.”Teachers don’t deserve a student coming into class saying ‘Gee Mrs. Brown, I went to this fancy museum and it said you’re teaching me a lie,”‘ Dr. Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, told reporters before the museum opened.]
I actually like this part… teachers shouldn’t lie to the children!
It should be against the law for teachers at a public school to be able to say that the earth is 14 billion years old when they can’t prove it! I think there should be a public debate with qualified people presenting both Creationism and Evolutionism. Then people would see the truth! Which is that they are both ‘theories’ that can’t be proven. If either should be taught in public schools, they should both be taught or niether and then as theories. To be fair, there probably isn’t enough Evolutionists or Creationists that agree (with each other), to form 2 teams for opposing views. On the other hand I am ambivalent about the spending of $27 million to prove that Genesis happened they way it reads… as far as I know it didn’t.

Oh my goodness! Somebody give these people a dictionary. Do you understand the difference between the scientific use of the term Theory and the layman use of it (which is how you’re using it). There is so much proof of the world being older than 6000 years and all of that nonsense.
God gave us minds. I like to believe He expected us to use them - to learn, study and explore. Not to huddle in a corner hiding from the world. Faith is a wonderful gift from God. My faith in God helps me understand and accept many things, including the reality of evolution. How people run and hide from their God-given ability to learn and study always amazes me.

Thank you for sharing. I figured that if I put this information online I would get some reaction.
Perhaps you need the definition of “fact”.
Fact: a concept whose truth can be proved; “scientific hypotheses are not facts”

If there is proof perhaps you would share with me.
I might take this opportunity to point out that the theories of carbon dating and other forms of dating are flawed. Do your own search. Just to start you on research.

Wow i think nancy said it all. who is that woman and where has she been all my life. how do i meet her? i think im in love.
actually i think this subject ought to have “hearings” and have evidence presented in a public forum, no hold barred and once and for all, settle the matter. Tho we both know it will never really be “settled” .
