    - Why is it that evolution is taught in public schools and not Creationism?

    Evolution is taught in schools because people want answers to where or what they came from...and evolution has fairly logical (and well proved) answers based on scientific law. Creation isn't because most of the information it provides is at one point taken from the Bible which is a good place to learn morals...not facts.(I think)

    From what I've seen, the concept of macroevolution and the related matter of spontaneous generation seems to be nothing more than an attempt to control the proletariat and is flawed in and of itself. The very fact that the machanism for it, natural selection results in a loss of genetic diversity(reduced gene pool size) usually indicates such.


    microevolution on the other hand seems to be a viable theory.

    from where do you derive such facts?

    also, are you speeking if macroevolution, or micro evolution.

    speciation is a fair deal diferent the simple dirferentiation within a species.

    the "facts" for macro evolution are about as viable as the facts presented by the creationist. It's inevitable that each side has their own biases, as each sides beleifs and morality is defined by such. Usually the ---- they cram down the throats of people at school is bull----. 90% of the people who debate in favor fo evolution hardly even know much of the foundation behind it.
