The Problem With Teaching Creationism in the Science Classroom

Creation stories of Genesis deal with similar topics, but they have different perspectives and focus on the basic principles of creative process. The first story is focused on the creation of God throughout the universe. Essentially, he imposes order in disarray: "There is neither a shape nor a hole in the earth; the darkness is deep" (Genesis 1: 2, King James). From this primitive state, he draws various aspects of the universe from midday to night, men and women.

Since the early twentieth century, creationists and evolution theorists have discussed the legal status of creation and evolution doctrine in public school science classes. Creation - evolution is a controversy in the court system about the origins of the earth, humans, life, the universe. Both views contradict and are causing deadlock in chess judicial games.

Advocates of creative science are working to teach the creation of the Bible versions as a science with evolutionary theory at US public schools and they cast doubt on this. Arkansas passed a law requiring professors to be creative at public schools. In 1981, the law was ruled as unconstitutional by federal judges who declared creationism inherently religious. A similar Louisiana law was knocked down in 1982. In their defense, creationists argue that evolution is not a fact, it is just a theory. On the other hand, some scientists such as Carl Sagan argue that evolution is fact, not theory. Stephen Jay Gould claims that evolution is a fact and a theory. It is true that this evolution happens; the mechanism by which it occurs is theoretical.

Creationism and classroom American classrooms have big flaws. Science curriculum supports evolution without other theories about how the universe exists. This narrow approach is preventing many young people from seeing vast pictures of the world. As it is important for the progress of modern science, scientific creationism should be incorporated into the curriculum of our public schools. Duane Gish has a doctorate. In biochemistry
