Some people say that if evolution is taught in school then it's only fair that creationism also be taught. But creationism is not science. Only alternative scientific theories can be taught in science class, and there are no alternative scientific theories to evolution.My opponent in this debate said, "If they can have their religion (of evolution), I don't see what's wrong with letting us have ours (in public schools)."
So he is advocating that taxpayers fund the teaching of his religion in school, based on his misinterpretation of what evolution really is.
Creationism, even as admitted by my openent in this debate, is not science. Therefore, why would he want it taught in the science class?
Fair? Most science students are taught evolution, if at all, no more than 1 or 2 days out of the entire year of biology. Yet fundamentalists teach their children about Adam and Eve from the time they start cutting teeth. Why not be "fair" and expose them to evolution in Sunday School if evolution really is a religion?
