I came up with this thread in the Macro/micro evolution debate, and I stated that I would make a thread about it.
The question is whether or not teaching Evolution in classrooms across the nation interfers with the constitutional religious rights of an American student.
I think that if you believe in a God who created the earth, and designed all that we see, teaching that it was all by Nature's mindless genius is ignorant of their beliefs,l even if its scientifically correct (which in in full, it's not but you should debate that in the Macro/Micro debate, not here). Children get Failing grades for openly denying its implications, and that, in my opinion, goes against the constitution. There are all kinds of other things in which kids can get free passes because "it's against their religion". Even if Islam is wrong (which is up to you), you cannot deny anyone's free will to practice it in America. So why can't evolution be dumped just for that reason? What is it that makes it OK?
What's your opinion? Remember: if you want to discuss whether or not Evolution is Scientifically correct, take that to the Macro vs. Micro debate in the Science Section. Here, we are discussing whther or not it is OK to teach Evolution based on the constitution.
