Should evolution and creationism be taught side by side in school?

Most certainly not side-by-side. That would imply that they are equivalent notions. Evolution, however, is a scientific theory, and creationism is religious myth. Evolution belongs in biology classes, creationism in something like comparative religion courses.


Does creationism disprove adaptation?

No, creationism and adaptation are not mutually exclusive concepts. Creationism is a belief in a divine creator, while adaptation is a scientific process by which organisms change over time to better survive in their environment. Many people believe that adaptation is evidence of intelligent design by a divine creator.


What are the differences and similarities between creationism intelligent design and evolution?

The first two say "gee - it's so complicated somebody must have planed it" along with the extra ego trip that says that we're pretty special. Evolution says that one single rule can generate complexity from simplicity. (The rule is let the weak weed themselves out - we call it death.) Forget the God argument ... He could have invented evolution too. In fact, it would take a superior sort of entity to do do so.


What is a clever title for evolution v. creationism persuasive essay. I am for evolution?

Richard Dawkins battles the creationism and evolution landscape with many a lengthy book on the subjects or, presumably, clever article. The titles of his books are quite good, such as Climbing Mount Improbable or The Selfish Gene or River out of Eden or The Ancestor's Tale. I have no idea of any titles for you (obviously you can't use Dawkins' titles). I did once consider the title The Intelligent Design of Education, for an article on whether Intelligent Design was worthy to be taught alongside or instead of evolution in classes. The title was supposed to imply the 'intelligent design' of education and educational decrees in cases where they excluded such things as Intelligent Design and creationism. Of course, 'clever' titles on this topic are likely to amuse biologists and infuriate fundamentalists. On April the 1st of one year (probably a complete April Fool), it appeared that Scientific American (I think it was that) wrote an editorial saying things like we scientists should discard observation and experiment and embrace faith and creationism. One wonders how that went down. Still, as I say, a complete April Fool.For your title, you can use plays on words, which are always clever. I sometimes rather like alliteration. Test your language. Look at the context and final product of your essay. Flip words this way and that. As I say, try puns and plays on words.In a case where you defy or deny evolution, The Creation of Evolution could be the start of a title, followed by perhaps a derogatory ending that implies it incorrect or idiotic.In the case in which you find holes in and dismiss creationism, try The Evolution of Creation, perhaps implying that creation is a made-up story that is imagined by creatures that are simply the product of evolution.Oh well, good luck with your persuasive essay. Gather your facts well and good luck with the title.


What occurred when the teaching of evolution was challenged by fundamentalists?

I think it was 1987 when the Supreme Court ruled that no state could block the teaching of evolution and that creationism was religion and violated the Establishment Clause of the Constitution.

What event publicly debated the subject of evolution and creationism and their place in education?

Several events have addressed this issue. As far as legal debates you could argue that it was the basis for the scopes monkey trial. More recently, there was a legal battle in Dover, Pennsylvania over the validity of "Intelligent Design" as science. It was ruled that "Intelligent Design" is a rebranding of "creationism", which has 2 issues rendering it inappropriate for a science class. 1. It is a religious view. 2. It is not supported by any scientific evidence. Therefore, creationism may only be taught in public schools as a philosophical belief.


What positions did William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow each represent at the Scopes Trail?

Bryan represented the state which had a law against teaching evolution and believed totally the Bible account of the creation. Darrow was an atheist who was against the state law, defended evolution and Stokes's right to teach it.

What are C.S. Lewis' views on evolution and creationism?

He seemed to accept what is now commonly called "theistic evolution." He didn't write a whole lot about it, but he did believe in common ancestry -- including humans. However, he kept a humble tone because I don't think he wanted to put a presupposed limit on the creating power of God.

What are some of the issues that separate creationism from evolution?

In reality there are no issue between Creationism and Evolution. Creationism is based on Supernatural and Evolution is based on Natural laws. Conflict arises when one side tries to discredit the other side.
