It will end soon enough though probably not in our lifetime. God will return and we will all know just how he created everything and how accurately "natural selection" fits into the picture He painted.
Personally I believe the Bible's version: God made it all but any and every possible "evolution" within the "kind" could and may have happened. The idea that we can be both "in the image of God" and a chimp derivative is rediculous. Believe one or the other - not both.
That said, I agree that Creationism should NOT be taught in public schools as science. However, a teacher mentioning that Darwinism has flaws that some resolve with the idea of Intelligent Design is NOT an attack on science!
My boys learn about Darwin and his theories but also learn the story of Creation and how parts of Darwinism don't fit. Yep, my boys are home-schooled and aren't missing a thing in science.
"God will return and we will all know just how he created everything and how accurately "natural selection" fits into the picture He painted." Then we will know if Darwin was right or not. Maybe Odin will say, Darwin was a jerk. That is one way how Darwins theory can be falsified.
"Personally I believe the Bible's version:" That is a good statement.
"The idea that we can be both 'in the image of God' and a chimp derivative is rediculous." Oh, why? Do you know what 'image' refers to? Maybe the whole nature is an image of Ahura Mazda?
" That said, I agree that Creationism should NOT be taught in public schools as science." Apsu and Tiamat will be ashamed.
"However, a teacher mentioning that Darwinism has flaws that some resolve with the idea of Intelligent Design is NOT an attack on science!" Flaws? What is your definition of "flaws" in a scientific context? The limitation that Darwin didn't try to explain the origin of life and just the origin of species?
And Intelligent Design is a stupid attack on science. That doctrine just says "Sorry, but we are to dumb to understand. But you don't need to search for an answer because the answer to everything is Atum!"
By the way, what story of Creation did your boys learn about - Coatlicue, Pan-gu or Brother Izanagi and Sister Izanami?
"how parts of Darwinism don't fit."
It's possible some parts of Evolution don't fit with Brahmas work.
"Yep, my boys are home-schooled and aren't missing a thing in science."
I think they have a big gap in understanding difference between a scientific theory and beliefs. I recommend to fill that gap with Sir Karl Popper and his definition of a scientific theory.
