Should evolution be taught in schools?

But if it does exist I should be able to ask for proof of a God, the burden is not on me for asking it is on finding the proof.

I'm confused about the point you're trying to make, are you saying that the burden of proof should be on the believer or the disbeliever? O_o

lol I not sure now I just got confused by reading this last page. In the case of Gods I believe the burden should be in proving it does exist if someone claims it exists. I think that is what I was trying to say lol. But rereading the burden can go both ways, proving it exists or providing evidence that it does not exist. lol I am so confused, this is why I try to tell myself to not get involved when things mention God but I never listen to myself.

We were making the same point in that case. It's not possible for somebody to disprove the existence of a god.

Lol agreed w/ @(you need an account to see links). It's not possible for someone to prove God doesn't exist. Just like it is not possible to prove fairies don't exist. You'd have to search every inch of the universe simultaneously in order to declare that there is not a single fairy in the universe. But since thus far there is no evidence that fairies DO exist, it is logical not to believe in fairies until such proof does present itself.

lol yeah I see it all now, makes sense. When it comes to say fairies, I tend to stand by the "prove it" side of things but I can see where the believer would ask me to prove that they do not, which like you said I would have to search the entire Universe lol.

Personally I think neither should be taught. We have no idea on how we came to be and all of us know just as much about it as these theory's claim to know, which is nothing. xD

That's not what evolution is about... really, it just says we all come from a common ancestor, and how we have changed over time. Doesn't say God made that ancestor or not. That's up to you to research.

evolution is already is taught in school.

For me, having faithin GOD is the best. I dont believe humans because theres HUMAN ERRORS, On the other side, GOD is almighty and has no errors. Thats why theres scientific theories, which need much more evidence to become facts

Just a quick dictionary
Faith: Beleiving without seeing.

Not everywhere. Especially in the Southern states in America aka "The Bible Belt," it is more of an issue.

Really? Like, not including religious schools? I find that rather frightening.
