Steven, In my mind, a theory is taking some things that could conceivably be true, and then, using the weight of academia, to teach it as probable. The fact that particles appear to be moving away from some central point, doesn't mean that there was a big bang. There is no way for anyone to know what happened. Evolution may appear to be possible, but there are inconsistencies and unexplained gaps. By the same token, the creation depicted in the Bible, has just as much chance of being fact as anything else. To teach one without the other does not present a level playing field for the student to consider.
This may sound corny to you, but the theory of creation was written about centuries before any of the other theories. Modern weapons of war were described, in the words of a first century human, long before they were dreamed of by any man of science.
All I am saying, is that some of the things you are calling "evidence" are no more than suppositions. I maintain, either teach them all, or teach none of them. To do otherwise is to make suggestions to students that one theory has precedence over another. Not fair. ~H~ |
