We’ve all heard the commotion that religion has caused in our school systems in past years. Moments of silence have been stamped out. The pledge is now deemed a form of worship. Religion has no place in the classroom, does it?
If you answered no, then you fail to see the reality that religion is already in the classroom -a religion based on the belief of science.
Science is an amazing and wonderful thing when it comes to understanding how this earth works. However, when it comes to the origins of this world, creation should be taught in the classroom as another explanation for life.
Science and creation both take faith to understand the origin of life. While science can prove many things by observing and testing them, it cannot prove things of the distant past beyond a doubt. They must gather many articles of evidence that are carefully pieced together like a puzzle. Yet pieces are always missing. And so, a theory is created..
However, it is always changing and nothing is proof positive.
Creationists view things from a different perspective generally, and accept that some things are beyond our explanation. The evidence to them is in nature and mankind itself.
Science often tends to leave out the fine print. What it masquerades as truth is just an educated guess. Mankind didn’t witness the birth of this universe. When it comes down to it, there are only two presuppositions one can have – a belief that life is just chance or, that God created all and science is merely commentary.
Faith. They both require faith. For that reason, they should both be taught in school. The understanding and conscious decision of what to believe should be left up to the student. Let them be the one to choose who is greater – man, or God?
