Biology 101: Dissecting Today's Textbooks (teach your kids how to spot Evo-religion in textbooks!)
Answers Magazine ^ | Roger Patterson

Posted on 08/05/2009 11:15:25 AM PDT by GodGunsGuts

Today’s top-selling biology textbooks present evolution as the only scientific view of the history of life. Often these textbooks use faulty or deceptive evidences to support evolutionary ideas. Fortunately, students can easily equip themselves with free materials that dissect textbooks and reveal the truth...

“Study: US Students Lagging In Biosciences
Are you ready to compare them to the students in countries that don’t teach ToE?”

I think a direct correlation may exist between the number of students in the US forced to consider theology as science and the relative failure to maintain excellence in biological sciences compared to other countries. Metmom proves the point that creationism in schools cause our kids to fail.

All three textbooks present evolution as the only scientific view of the history of life on earth. The assumed authority is summarized in the statement "most scientists." Those two words are used to persuade students that evolution happened and that science is just trying to understand the details.

So, the texts state that most scientists think that evolution has happened. What should they write instead? Perhaps: the overwhelming majority of scientist think that evolution has happened?.

“And why do you say “unintelligent”? The theory of evolution makes no stand as to whether intelligence was involved or not.

Really? Darwinism claims evolution produced intelligence.

“Really? Darwinism claims evolution produced intelligence.”

—Yes, Darwinism does say that intelligence evolved, but that doesn’t contradict the idea that the universe and its laws came from an intelligent source. In fact, every poll shows that the number of theistic evolutionists greatly outnumber the atheistic evolutionists. Many of the leading Darwinist scientists are also Christians.

LOL!!!!!!

So blame your own liberal godless failures on the ones that are shut out of the educational process?

BRILLIANT! Now that's rich, because everyone knows liberals bend over backwards to stomp God out of science class, via lawsuits when necessary, THEN when they have obvious egg on their faces for failing, well, of course they're going to blame-shift! Soooooo predictable!

Metmom proves the point that creationism in schools cause our kids to fail.

Uh-uh...ohhhhhhhhh no you don't. There simply aren't any facts to support your assinine "correlation", moreover the science texts and curriculum are more than proof enough that you indeed got your way that you demanded, i.e. no God, intelligence and design allowed!!!!! So now YOU have to sleep in your bed YOU made, NOT US!

Several problems for you here, other than the more obvious one: you've been hopelessly brainwashed to the point that you've simply abandoned the critical reasoning process, drilled out of you by failed godless public screwels...

1. BEFORE the evo-cultist godless liberals hi-jacked education, you know, once upon a time when God wasn't forced out via political correctness...???? Science flourished just fine. In fact, better than ever.

2. Home-schooled and private schooled kids whose parents don't have multiple God hang-ups also perform better than their evo-mind-numbed peers.

Boy....you guys just parrot the same thoroughly debunked foolishness with no regard to how many times it's been thoroughly and utterly destroyed, with absolutely zero shame or awareness of how foolish this makes you people look!

If there are any direct correlations, it's that liberals that have hi-jacked the education system are failing and ever projecting their failures, while clueless at how little reasoning capabilites they've learned!

Utterly fascinating classic liberal excuses/projections/whack-job thinking!

“Are you ready to compare them to the students in countries that don’t teach ToE?”

Sure, and while we’re at it, why not compare them to the students that learn evolution AND ID/creationism in this country?

Why study hard? After all, random processes plus survival have made you into everything you are, and everything you’ll ever be.


Exactly....just rely on the gubmit to take money from some one else, or make up some rules like those firemen had to face with sotomayor...they can’t be promoted because they passed and they were white.

Liberal evo-loons are just weird!

A lot of good teaching the ToE is doing public school kids.....

But hey, as long as their liberal sensibilities aren't infringed upon and they have to hear about ***GASP*** God, well then, failure is all good!

And meanwhile, the likes of algore are making a spectacle of them, right under their noses! While they whine about God and keeping their godless science somehow *pure*...science itself has suffered under their watch as never before.

They'll babble some nonesense now about the Church and enlightenment but people KNOW better now; or at least have the capability of knowing better now, but it's just that liberals simply don't care.

As I said, it ain't about the science!

Far from “censoring” Creationists, schools actually bend over backwards to accomodate them.

LOL!!!! Thanks for the laugh again!

When you type such nonsense do you think people actually buy it? On FR of all places?

“Fortunately, students can easily equip themselves with free materials that dissect textbooks and reveal the truth”...

This is probably true for most students and most schools but unfortunately there are still holes and gaps.

Not all kids have access to information outtside of the school and not all schools will simply “allow” let alone provide *certain* alternatives and/or resources.

That’s just how liberals are.

I recall one suggestion of compromise was to make students aware of alternatives to the liberal cult and that was shot down and a big no-no...after all how could this be “allowed”...and the cult thrive? :(

Ask yourself. Are you by any chance an educator? Statistician? Demographer? Pick any study of trend analysis other than raving wingnut.

I'll bite. How? You have sources to back that up, especially since evolution only has had the monopoly in public education for decades? And that the public schools were cranking out far better educated students before creation was banned from them?

You are not in the position to demonstrate that teaching creation only in schools hindered scientific development in all the years prior to 1925.

BTW, thanks for the courtesy ping that evos always whine about when creationists don't do it for them.

My regrets on the courtesy ping.

The statement is tongue in cheek but if you insist on pressing the point. I have pre-WW2 text books. Oddly, not one reference to creationism is in them. Only science in the science books. The statement I made is about distraction - distraction from the real basis of science. Theology is not listed in it’s tenets.

Intelligence arises from intelligence then? Yes, “intelligence” since Darwinism posits that all that humans are were and can be arises from evolutionary processes, whether accident, natural selection, religious belief, etc.

“Many of the leading Darwinist scientists are also Christians”.

If they claim to follow Christ's teachings then it would be proper to ask whether they believe and accept what he said in the Bible, would it not? Or will you argue that Christ was an evolutionist?

Or perhaps you are advocating intelligent design?

Hmmm, my poor brainwashed, creation believing, evolution and creation together taught progeny, having the almost the highest grades in their classes when they went to public school for their senior year, have (in age order) a 1530 SAT score, a 30 out of 32 ACT score, a 32 out of 36 ACT score, with the oldest two being invited to be in the honors programs in their respective big name (you’d recognize them in a heartbeat) private, secular universities, with the youngest likely the same as she has better school grades that her siblings.

And all are science/engineering majors.

Yeah, teaching them creation sure hurt their chances. /s

Uhhhh, this isn't remotely the issue! You are very insecure, did you know that?

But if it were, by some fantastical make believe alternate universe relevant question, just for kicks, I would expect students to do better with ALL the information, just to have the two to properly compare, which of the two is the stronger. It helps, after all to understand both before making these determinations, which of course aren't etched in stone anyway, when it comes to science.

But that's not what's happening now is it?

Why do you ask so many irrelevant questions like these that have nothing to do with the subject?

Moreover, it seems to me YOU need to answer several questions before this one can even be entertained! This is to put the cart way before the horse and even then, I don't recall seeing ONLY creationism taught in schools before God was kicked out.

PLAINLY the data indicates students do better if they learn both, and the reality is that you liberals demand they learn your cult and your cult only, and the very best your brain can offer up is this irrelevant strawman of a question in defense?

What a riot!

Can you show us where students ONLY learn or have ONLY been taught creationism?

Does it also completely escape you that this is precisely what we've been asking for and such an idiotic question can never even be answered let alone addressed until you sad people finally understand YOU are what's getting in the way of any answer you're asking?
