Different Theories

"I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought," Bush said. "You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes."

It is well know that Bush wants to teach creationism in school. However, instead of blatantly stating it out, he goes along the lines of, "different theories." This pretty much violates the separation of church and state.

Well, there are several problems which arise with the theory of creationism. First, it has nothing except a black book backing it up. Evolution has scientific evidence backing it up, DNA evidence, fossil evidence, etc. The only thing that evolution is missing is well, a few more fossils to fill in missing gaps. Creationism also has the problem of inbreeding. For example, my family has bad eyesight. If have kids with my, "sister," my daughter will also have bad eyesight. Now if this is done for many years.....well, my family is basically blind. Evolution does not have this problem, because there are many people with many different traits, bad traits are not reinforced.

Now, creationism is found in a black book we like to call, the bible. It states that Adam and Eve had two sons, and three daughters. Some one must have had sex with a family member for us all to be here. Also found in the bible: incest is a sin. So even if we did use the bible as a source, it contradicts itself.

Evolution is not based on religion. There is no set religion out there that says, "Evolution is right." There isn't even a cult that states evolution is right. This does not include atheists and agnostics, for the reason that they are not part of a set religion (Christianity, Islam, Hindu, etc).

Further more, if Bush wants to teach different theories, I want him to teach all the other theories. Including the Egyptian religion, where the world was created by the great god jacking off. How's that for a different school of thought.

My solution? Leave evolution for biology. Creationism, as well as any other religious explanations should be left to history, culture study, or English. They're just STORIES. I mean, which is more accurate, a scientific paper on evolution, or the story of Adam and Eve? Last time I checked, a scientific paper is more accurate than some crap sci-fi book I read in the bookstore.
