Indiana and Missouri are proposing bills that would introduce Creationism to the classroom. Evolution would not be dismissed or removed from the classroom, but that both theories of the way the world began are taught equally side by side. What do you think about this? Should Creationism (as believed by Christians, though it is possible other mythology's tales will be mentioned) be allowed in the classroom? Please give your thoughts!!

I believe it should. I mean, why not? Some people find it interesting what other religions believe. It might even be fun for some people to have that in their class.

I live in Indiana, I am a Christian and I do believe both should be taught. I am not a "my beliefs or burn in hell" Christian. I am fascinated by the different beliefs. I have a feeling that others may not share my opinion though. Some believe in Evolution, and some Creationism. Why should one be freely taught and not the other?

Creationism Should Be Involved In Classroom Alongside Evolution:

- Worth Acknowledging
- Provide Different Sense
- Cultural Experience

.. All worth acknowledging, recieving different view toward world evolution beliefs even if in mythology aspects.

I agree with ^^^^ just slightly. It would be fun to learn about other religions, but in your free time. It is unconstitutional what they are trying to do. If it is learned in the classroom then it would automatically become part of the core content and we would have to be tested over it.

Then Evolution should not be taught and tested on. Is it even tested? If it is, then it is also unconstitutional, because it is a belief, a theory, and not actually proven, just as Creationism is. If it is unconstitutional to teach other beliefs about the way the world began, then evolution should not be taught either.

Ah, I disagree with XxDifferentxX

Evolution is not that we came from apes. It is the theory of organisms simply changing over a period of time.

Evolution is being taught hand-in-hand with the Big Bang and other scientific theories of how the world began. If one is being taught, you can guarantee the other it.

Creationism is already taught in Metro Nashville Public Schools, when we study different ancient civilizations. We learn the civilization's beliefs, and we learn about Creationism before we learn about Evolution.

Yes. In my school, which is a charter school, meaning it works outside if the government, allows Creationism to be taught as an extra class, but Evolution is still regularly taught in in Science. Not mine, seeing as I'm in Earth science, but my friend takes Biology and is currently learning it.

Another thing, which kind of goes along with this:

We aren't allowed to say "Merry Christmas" but we ARE allowed to say "Happy Hannukah" or "Happy Kwanzaa".
I don't get that...
