While the Big Bang Theory is not the only cosmological model for exploring a causation for our existence, it does provide a context and organization from which each individual my understand and come to grips with their own rationale for why and how organic life is possible. It is also a great exercise in logic, and logical thinking is a useful tool in any life pursuit.

Does the Big Bang theory get taught in primary schools?
The Big Bang theory is typically not taught in primary schools, as the concept may be too complex for young children to grasp. However, some basic concepts related to the formation of the universe may be introduced at a simplified level.
What year did they start teaching evolution in US public schools?
U.S. public schools have always made an effort to stay current with modern science. Since Darwin published his "Origin of the Species" in England in 1859, it can be assumed that public schools in the U.S. began teaching the principles of evolution soon afterward--perhaps within a decade or so. For example, the Nashville "Christian Advocate" (a Tennessee newspaper) was decrying the theory as a threat to faith as early as 1880. Evolutionary sciences met widespread resistance in the fundamentalist segments of the U.S., of course, leading to the infamous Scopes trial in Tennesee of 1925. It should be noted, however, that even though the fundamentalist cause was largely discredited during this event, evolution per se was more avoided than taught in public-school science classes (for fear of arousing the controversy again) until about the 1960s. It varies state by state. The word evolution is banned in some states and the words "change over time" must be used. Dover, Pennsylvania is having to deal with criticisms chicken butt
Is evolution still taught in schools?
Yes. Evolution is a fact and the theory of evolution by natural selection explains this fact. Creationism and Intelligent Design are always rejected as science in US courts. It gives rise to a constitutional issue. Evolutionary theory is the backbone of biology and you are not specifically educated in biology if you do not know this theory. And I would say you are not generally educated if you do not have exposure to this, one of the core theories of science.
Is Evolution taught in Kansas?
Evolution is something that nobody seriously doubts, the evidence is all around. But you have in mind the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection: a scientific theory originated by Darwin after his voyage in the Research ship Beagle. Some religious sects take exception to the element of this theory that ascribes completely new species to the mechanisms that Darwin describes, wishing to reserve the creation of species to God's work alone. Darwin's theory features: natural variation by sexual reproduction, with mutations. The elimination of most dfferent forms because they are not well-adapted to the conditions. The survival of a FEW different forms because they suit the conditions better (or the conditions have changed enough to make them more successful at present) If different forms survive and multiply, then over millions of generations, the forms of survivors can be dramatically different. It is difficult to observe the effects of millions of generations, except in creatures with very, very short lifespans - but there are many of those too: bacteria, flies and insicts for example. Even so, Darwin's theory is taught in every state of the US and every developed country because it is successful in predicting and explaining observed data: this is the test of all scientific theories. /Brian W

Is creationism taught in Ohio public schools?
Creationism is not taught in Ohio public schools as part of the science curriculum. It may be taught in a cultural or sociological classroom setting, depending on the teacher or school. Only evolution is taught as a scientific theory for the origin of life in biology/science classes.
How come creationism isn't taught in public schools?
Creationism IS taught in public schools. There are many forms of creationism taught in mythology classes. Creationism, itself, is explored in philosophy classes. Biblical creation is taught in English and literature classes. Musical interpretations of Genesis are taught in music classes. Creationism is not taught in science classes because it is not supported by any scientific evidence whatsoever. It makes no verifiable predictions. It also has no practical application.
Does Rick Santorum believe in evolution?
Rick Santorum does not believe evolution is a proven fact, and that it should not be taught as such in public schools. In addition, he believes other theories of how the universe came into existence should be taught alongside evolution. He proposed language to the No Child Left Behind Act to that effect.
Why should evolution not be taught in schools?
Evolution should be taught in schools because it is a well-established scientific theory supported by a vast amount of evidence. Understanding evolution is essential for students to grasp the principles of biology and to critically evaluate scientific knowledge. Teaching evolution does not imply denying or negating any individual's beliefs or religious views.
Is creationism taught in public schools?
Yes. It is in Britian, but i don't know about America or anywhere else. == Not in the Dover Area School District in Pennsylvania it isn't. == If you meant Britain, no it's not taught in public schools. Evolution is. There are some private Christian schools in Britain that do teach the creationist view alongside evolution, but they are very much in the minority. == In the U.S., there is a Constitutional division between church and state. This prevents the teaching of creation ideas in public school because creation ideas are based in religion. This has set the stage for a public fight over the issue, the idea being that some Christians believe that creation ideas should get some "air time" in public schools. There are a number of other questions on WikiAnswers that deal with the issue. Answer Generally, creationism is not taught in public schools due to issues such as conflicts between different beliefs and religions.
Should public schools teach creationism alongside evolution in science classes?
No. Teaching creationism alongside evolutionary theory would suggest that they are equivalent explanations. They are not. Evolutionary theory is a well-established scientific model; creationism is a religious myth, and should be taught as such.
Is Darwin's theory taught in schools?
The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, as an explanation for the development of life on earth and its current form and diversity, is taught in many school science courses, but not in all.
Why is creationism not taught in schools?
The United States Supreme Court has defined creationism as a religious hypothesis, which should be taught only as part of religious education. It is not permitted to be taught in science courses.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Is the theory of evolution allowed in schools?
Yes, most public schools will teach evolution in their life science classes, such as Biology. However, some states, especially those in the southern United States try to circumvent the law by avoiding the teaching of evolution altogether because of the controversy surrounding it.
Does the Big Bang theory get taught in primary schools?
The Big Bang theory is typically not taught in primary schools, as the concept may be too complex for young children to grasp. However, some basic concepts related to the formation of the universe may be introduced at a simplified level.
At issue in the Scopes Trial of 1925 was whether a public school teacher could?
The Scopes Trial was about teaching the theory of evolution in public schools.
When did evolution become legal?
Do you mean legal to be taught in schools? Evolution has been the accepted theory as to the origin of 'complex' life for around 150 years. I'm not sure when it became legal to be taught in schools. Probably around the same time the scientific community accepted it.
