Creationism_Vs._Evolution

Creationism Vs. Evolution Creationism vs. Evolution There is alot of controversy these days as to whether or not students should be made to study both creationism and evolutionary theory. I strongly believe that they should not. I believe that since creationism is a product of religious beliefs, it should not be taught in schools due to the U.S. Constitution clearly stating that there should be a separation between church and state. This is definitely a tough issue, since many people have different beliefs as to the beginning of the world and the beginning of man. Some people may argue that it is necessary to teach creationism in schools because it is simply what they believe in. I think that it would be better to teach based on fact, rather than basing education on a text that was written hundreds of years ago, when people were uninformed and simply trying to explain things that they couldn’t comprehend. As far as education goes, there should be no teaching based on something that can’t be scientifically proven. Robert Schadewald, in an essay entitled Scientific Creationism and Error, stated that “Science is wedded, at least in principle, to the evidence. Creationism is unabashedly wedded to the doctrine, creationism, should, schools, believe, teaching, students, religious, people, theories, evolutionary, based, theory, school, evidence, class, systems, since, simply, scientific, required, out, church, beliefs, because, argue, against, about, wrong, world, values, time, through, think, tend, taught, scientifically
