i don't think evolution should be taught in schools. It take more faith to believe in evolution then it does to believe in god. Evolution believes that a rock became an animal such as a tadpole then it became another animal over thousands of years and if that was so how would that animal either live for 1000 years or mate with it self and how would sea animals become land animals or vise versa how would it have gills and be able to breathe air. Its so much easier to believe that there was a creator, thats why i don't think evolution should be taught in schools.

Umh....I've never heard that theory...can you elaborate? Are you sure you're not thinking of something magical like invisible beings in the sky, burning bushes that talk to people, pregnant virgins and Jewish zombies?

Did you ever read about evolution and explored its many scientific facts and proofs?
If not, your claim is just a need to create mindless discussion.

Your problem is that you're not even talking about evolution. Evolution doesn't address the origin of life; it addresses only origin of species. FAIL.

By the way, you yourself are poster boy for life from rocks--guess what your bones are made of. Your life depends on ingesting rocks like calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, etc. and if you take your daily vitamins, you also believe that your life comes from rocks.

Your life also comes from water and oxygen. Deal with it.

Why?



That is incorrect.

I don't see how you can argue against a theory you don't understand.


Why would it have to live for 1000 years or mate with itself?


Through incremental changes over long periods of time.

You are aware there are species of fish that can breathe air, right? Observe - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lungfish -



A chance mutation maybe. The how is irrelevant though, since we already know there are fish that can breathe air. The lungfish isn't the only one btw.



Why is it easier?


We should only teach things that are easy to understand? Is that your argument?

Aren't schools where we teach the most accepted current understanding of how our world works?

Since when is how much faith it takes to believe something an indicator of its veracity? Plus, by definition, faith is believing something for which there is no evidence. Science deals with evidence, not faith.

First of all, "Evolution" doesn't believe anything. It is an explanation for what we observe that is widely accepted based on the evidence. As for the rest of what you said, you do not understand the theory of evolution at all. Your description is a purely fabricated strawman, and has nothing to do with what biologists believe about the evolution of species.

Schools are where liberals indoctrinate children into becoming the modern day version of 'Nazi Youths'.

think about it: evolution is the belief of SCIENCE. in school, evolution is taught in a SCIENCE class, not a truth class or something. besides, schools don't force you to believe anything, they teach you facts and get you to develop your own opinion. the only problem is that teachers, being in unions, teach liberal beliefs.
