Poll Needs FReeping! Evolution vs. creationism

Orange County Register ^ | 10/11/2010

[South40]

Should creationism, or "intelligent design," be taught alongside evolution in public schools?

* Yes, it's a valid scientific alternative
* No, it has no scientific validity
* Undecided

I know, it's a poorly worded poll. So save the critiques I didn't write it.

Poll is halfway down the page on right.

[South40]

It was at 66% NO when I posted this. Its not at 57%.

:-)

Science should be taught in science courses and religion should be taught in religion courses.

Of course, if school was a separated from state as the left wishes church to be separated from state, this would not even be an issue.

Only 66 total votes, should be easy to FReep. The comments on the Alred story are funny, as an added bonus for FReeping.

[UndauntedR]

No, it has no scientific validity.

[frankenMonkey]

I voted for “No, it has no scientific validity” - that’s what you were looking for, right?

[blowfish]

Done. Voted no, of course.

[South40]

Read the question.

Should creationism, or "intelligent design," be taught alongside evolution in public schools?

I personally think religion should not be taught in public schools. But if those schools are going to teach evolution they should be teaching creationism as well.

[South40]

So you believe only evolution should be taught in public schools?

[muir_redwoods]

Voted no, thanks for the tip

[MindBender26]

Science classes were Monday to Friday, Religious instruction Sunday.

Voted no.

[Ferndale]

Got my NO vote in — I think we’re making a difference.

[NRPM]

Voted “No”.

The TOE fairy tale has about run it course from evolution to devolution... All we need now is for these anti-God, we are gods, leftist to start dabbling into it's all God's fault.

I notice that that South40 has been banned or suspended. I wonder why.

[WorkingClassFilth]

I teach both at my academy, but only one makes sense when both are taught side by side.

[South40]

In 9+years as a FReeper I have never been banned or suspended. Most people can figure out that is an image. You couldn’t. I wonder why.

[Tigercap]

Voted yes.

Evolutionism is a theory, Intelligent Design is a theory. It takes as much faith to believe all this came from nothing as it does in believing it came from an intelligent creator.

Either both are introduced in school as theories, or neither.

[South40]

I couldn’t agree more. Either teach both or neither.

[TigersEye]

No, it has no scientific validity

Done.
