Ok, I realize there are people out there who believe in both. But that is not how it is being taught in our schools. They texts are actually attempting to say there is no need for God. That may not have been Darwin's intent--that is up for debate--but it is certainly the attempt of many of the text book writers.
I had meant to imply that, even though the theory of evolution does not have to be a replacement for God, it would not surprise me at all if our leftist educators were telling students that it is such a replacement.
After all, both religion and the family compete with the Left in matters of decision making and morality.
Creationists are masters at distortion and, often, outright lying. Usually when people mean "our schools" they mean elementary, middle, and high schools. Like I've said I'd say there's about zero chance the books quoted (if the quotes aren't fabrications, which is always a possibility with creationists) are used below the college level.
Textbooks for high schools and lower are bland, vapid, drained of content or pretty much anything controversial, and selected by vast committees. If any of the quotations listed that people are horrified at are from high school texts I'd be more shocked than if Hillary Clinton won the 2008 Republican Nomination for President.
College textbooks are selected by professors with no oversight or review by the University and they're basically whatever he feels like typing in the syllabus.
And exactly how many of "our schools" have you been in to check out this broad claim?
They texts are actually attempting to say there is no need for God.
Several Freepers have made similar claims in the past. Each time we challenge them to actually quote the textbooks saying that. Each time they either vanish from the thread, or post quotes from textbooks which *don't* actually say that.
Would you like to try to be the first to actually substantiate these wild claims?
