Trisha's reponce

I agree with Bobbo. Creationism shouldn't be taught in school. It's an interesting topic, sure but it's also isn't based on facts and also assumes everyone believes in one God. It can make other kids who have other religions feel out of place and can make them feel like their beliefs are wrong or should be questioned just so that they can fit in. Also, if we were to let Creationism be taught, we would have to let all religions be taught. There are probably thousands of religions out there and the school would have to offer the teachings of every single one. I don't you about you, but that would be a lot of money and time to find teachers and books. There are people who don't believe in just one God, myself being one of them. And to be completely honest, I would feel a little like I was being forced to learn beliefs that weren't mine and like it was being forced on me. Not to mention that it's a mixture of church and state, which for good reason must remain seperated.
