Does this survey explain why creation is becoming...?

...more acceptable to Americans as a scientific alternative to evolution and does it worry you?

Approximately 20% of students surveyed in this study report that their high school biology teachers taught them neither evolution nor creationism.





Based on these students’ reports, creationism appears to be taught in 20-25% of biology classes in public schools.

I don't need this survey to tell me the US school system lacks an emphasis in real science. All the kids can tell you the definition of an experiment, since that is on standardized test. But ask them the basics of evolution, and they say "we evolved from monkeys, 'cause a monkey gave birth to a human." Sad.





But you have to factor in the different cultures of the US. I bet in New York, you would have very different percentages then in Arkansas.

Creation is not becoming more acceptable to americans as a scientific alternative to evolution. This is mostly because creation is just plain NOT a scientific alternative to evolution. It is, until such time as there is enough evidence to suggest otherwise, a faith-based alternative. Whether or not more people are accepting it does not change this fact.
Reply:You know what is so strange about all of this controversy, to me, anyhow, is that I went to school in upstate New York, in the '60's (yes, I am an ORIGINAL Flower Child), and we were taught evolution, but nobody ever suggested that if evolution then not-God or if God then not-evolution. I don't know why it never occurred to us back then...maybe because nobody was pushing the "let's get rid of God" agenda so hard??
Reply:In high-school I was taught that creationism IS the truth, and that evolution is atheistic lies.





Then I went to college, thought for myself, and realized my high-school was just another religious nut-house.

Reply:If we teach scientific method and logic, anyone reading either account (creationist or scientific) will see clearly that creationism is not scientific or valid.
Reply:I can't say I'm surprised. Evolution was never covered in any of my science classes growing up, but I don't remember Creationism either (although I DO recall a guest lecture from a flat-Earther - not joking).
