Evolution should be taught in schools. It is important for children to know all about the different possibilities of how life came to be so that they can make their own decision about what they are going to believe. Even though I believe in God, it would be unfair to deny children this information, especially because there is so much scientific proof of evolution's existence. It took me a while to decide what I wanted to believe. It is important that children have the opportunity to decide.
Evolution should not be taught in schools because it is based on assumptions. Evolution is simply a theory and therefore it should not be mandatory for it to be taught in schools if it cannot be proven. I think that students should have a choice on whether or not evolution should be taught so that they can make their own decision and don't feel forced into it.
I personally think that evolution does not exist because it defies my religion, Christianity, and what it says about how life began is not what is stated in the Bible. However, I do believe that evolution should be taught in school because not everyone has the same beliefs or religion as I have, and everybody should have all the opportunities of learning that is offered in the world. I believe in equality, and students should not be denied that learning opportunity. I also feel that students should be able to choose whether or not they believe in evolution, and the only way for them decide what they want to believe is for them to be taught it.
Evolution should not be taught in schools. I think this because as I said in an earlier post, everybody has an opinion, and we should not be taught something that is correct or incorrect to us. And its more than just an opinion because evolution hasn't even been proven and its still just a theory. So why should we waste our time learning about something that could or could not be true? If it is sometime proven incorrect then all the time we spent talking about it, could've been spent learning something thats proven true. Even though I am Zen Buddhist and we do accept some part of evolution, schools should not have an impact on a children decision about what they believe in life, no matter what they are.

Mrs. Ball, as much as I do respect you, I have to say that I disagree with you. Although there is a lot of evidence supporting evolution, it is still not rock solid, and it is not law, so it should not be taught in schools. I think the children's parent should teach them about evolution if they believe in it, but schools shouldn't have any part in a decision like that for children.

I respectfully disagree with your statement and opinion that evolution should not be taught in schools. I personally do not think that evolution exists because it contradicts my beliefs as a Christian. I also understand that evolution is just a theory, but it should still be taught in schools. Everybody should be entitled to their own opinion and what they believe is true, but the only way for students to decide what they want to believe is to be taught whatever that matter is. Schools would be simply expanding the children's' knowledge of what they can believe if they want to believe it. It's also wrong to deprive a child a learning opportunity. If students are taught evolution, then they can decide for themselves whether or not they want to believe it, but if they are not taught that, then how can they decide? I do see your point though.
Although I'm a believer in evolution I don't think it should be taught in schools. It is just a theory and has not been proven completely true or false. We should only be teaching things that are proven facts. We shoulnt teach things that may not be even right, because that is a waste of everybodies time.

I have to disagree with you Ms. Swift. Evolution is an opinion and should not be taught and schools. If you want to learn about evolution you should learn about it outside of school just like you go to church and learn about God outside of school and not in the classroom. The schools resources should only be used to teach things that are facts.
Evolution should not be taught in schools. It goes against some people's beliefs. Schools don't want parents complaining that their child is being taught information against their religion. It would make the school look bad. Let the children follow their beliefs and learn their culture.

I agree with you John. If it is can't be proven why are the kids learning about it?
I fought so that everyone in America can have equal rights, so I believe that to stop discrimination you need to teach people about our differences at an early age to demonstrate how we are all equal, educates us on ideas other people have so we can understand them, and to show that our religion and beliefs are just what make us unique. If you don't learn about evolution, then you will be totally alienated from those who do believe in it. Alienation of people is what causes problems in the world because it implements stress and fear towards groups of people who don't think like you because you simply do not understand them, so it is necessary that we teach children about different beliefs of people. Learning about evolution will also create a sense of trust and pride in one's religion, develop polite ways of debating with others whom don't have the same ways of thinking as you, teaches not to always express what you think in your head for it may offend your entourage, and establishes creativity because evolution is not yet concrete and gives way to different ideas on how life was formed. I specifically do not believe in evolution, but I do trust that it could bring more peace into the world, open peoples' minds, and more obviously lead to learning about ways the earth could have formed, how theories are put together, and teaches scientific methods and terms that can be applied for future usage.

In my opinion if all kids learned about was information on their own culture, every one will grow up with fear towards other groups because no information about this different group showing why their beliefs make sense was given to them. I think that not only evolution should be presented to the the school program but also information about different religions too! However, the information you stated does make a lot of sense and it is true that teaching students about evolution may cause a lot of complaints from parents.
Yes evolution should be taught in schools unless the school runs on what they believe. As a child I remember certain families sending their young children being sent to private schools. These private schools did not teach evolution. I however learned about evolution. To keep in mind that evolution is a theory not fact is very important. Even though it goes against some peoples beliefs, it does not go against everyone's.
I believe that evolution should NOT be taught in schools. As I have mentioned in earlier posts, I feel that the human race in general spends too much time fussing over the origin of life; there are better things to focus on. More valuable information such as warfare tactics and mechanical/building skills should be taught to the children so they can start contributing to their country at the youngest age possible. Whoever is leader of the country should decide what ideas about the origin of life should be accepted: they're leader for a reason. That's what I would've done if I had to address this topic when I was the leader of China.

Peasant "Lucille",
I have to disagree with you. I see that you are saying that children need to be informed about different religions and viewpoints so they can decide what to believe, but they are just children! How can they know what to believe? They are very easily swayed and impacted; it's hard to call most of their decisions valid. They might just believe whatever their teacher tells them is true, again, they are naïve and impressionable. The decision of figuring out what to show your child as truth in that area should be left to the older and wiser.

I see your point on parents sending their children to private schools, but what if they cannot afford this? Knowing from personal experience money can often be tight in families, so I think that schools should develop some kind of system that allows parents to choose whether or not they want their child learning about evolution.
I personally do not care weather or not evolution should be taught in schools. When I was a child I would say that it should not be taught in school because my parents were Quakers. Now I don't believe in that I don't discredit a "God" but I don't believe that one exist so it doesn't really matter to me. Once I die I just believe that I just don't exist at all.

I don't really believe in evolution or any real religion but you say that evolution is just a theory but what is your evidence that Buddhism is real or true. I don't understand how you can believe in something that you can not see or that lived long ago but you don't have evidence that is real.
I believe that children should have the right to know everything they can about the world around them, and since evolution has so much evidence and detail embedded within it, I think that children should know about it. It is up to the kids to decide what they want to believe, but being exposed to every option possible will give the children a chance to pick a belief that they might not have previously been exposed to. So, evolution should be taught at school, but with caution from the teacher that this subject is only one of many beliefs.

I have to say that I respectfully disagree with your statement. I think children should get the opportunity to learn about other cultures and beliefs, not just the one that they were raised with. I am aware that evolution goes against many people's beliefs, but wouldn't you want your child to be aware of the thoughts and conclusions of those around them, not just their own?
Though I am christian myself, I do believe in openess and the right to knowledge. I do see it as a right for one to know about evolution and though I think it should be taught, people shouldn't be pressured into believing it. In the end, I believe in the right to knowledge, like previously stated, after all, my glasnost policies where all about concerning this issue. If someone wants to believe in evolution, it should be their choice, but knowing about it does no harm.
I do say i have to disagree with this statement, I believe that people should have access to information and to know and acknowledge its existence. From where I came from, I fought for glasnost, or "openess", where people could have the right to access information previously forbade. Sure, it may go against some beliefs, but believing in evolution is a choice one makes, just knowing it is doesn't do harm
Evolution should not be taught in schools. This is probably biased because of my religious beliefs. However, this influences children in school to believe these things because they state all this evidence and stuff. The children of our world should be able to believe whatever they want and not be influenced by what school teaches them.

Hold up one second. The schools ain't letting them become exposed to every possible option. They are only exposing them to this theory of evolution. So, they are influencing the children of this generation, saying "this is the truth because this is what we teach." So this doesn't teach and open opportunities for them to pick their beliefs, this teaches and holds this theory of evolution as what you believe because it's what you learned.
I do think evolution should be taught in school, even if your religion has a different idea of the origin of life. Children should be able to choose whether they believe it or not. In my opinion, parents have no right to make the child believe or not believe something. It's up to the child, so yeah I do think evolution should be taught in school.

I believe that evolution should be taught, Mr. Mao. I believe that the way we got here is going to be an inevitable question in any child's mind at some point. If they are taught it, they have learned the scientific reasoning. But they can choose to accept it of not. I don't think children normally think about war tactics, but that's just my views.
That made up thing? In schools? You've got to be joking. No parent would even think to allow their child to be taught such a thing. EvenI wasn't taught anything like that and I had access to some of the best tutors. Evolution is a theory, which means it is based on speculation and propositions. Children may not understand something such as this. Because the teacher has said it, for them it is now an absolute truth that cannot be proven against. We would hate to have children such as that influencing this to others. The simplest way is to not teach them something they should not believe. Even more so, however here I am dragging religion down into it, it could potentially be dangerous. Gods do not like to be forgotten...

I believe evolution should be taught in schools. Evolution has been studied thoroughly throughout decades and has been found to explain the progression of changes in species. It describes accurately what causes species to change and has been tested, researched, and thought over by many scientists for decades. It is widely accepted as fact and I accept it as fact too. Since it is titled the Theory of evolution, it is often seen as a hunch or a guess, but a theory is a widely excepted belief that is backed up by research that describes natural phenomena. The fact that it is a theory and not a law should not keep our children from learning it in school because the legitimacy of a theory is equal to that of a law. Furthermore, children should be taught their place in the world and the impact that they can have on the environment, and if we don't teach the natural processes occurring around them, then they will not know how their actions have repercussions on later on. The main importance of learning about evolution is to insure the ecological safety of our world for future generations.

However, this influences children in school to believe these things because they state all this evidence and stuff.

Thank you! Yes, I must agree with you. Children often find it hard to differentiate fact from speculation. They in turn drop their beliefs and follow this instead. This could create problems for both the child and family in the future.
I don't think evolution should be taught in schools. Many people have religious views on everything and evolution contradicts with their beliefs. People have different thoughts on everything, and on this topic the most. There are so many ways that it could be taught.
I honestly do not care at all. I am tolerant of practically all religions, so why should I be intolerant of those who do not have a religion? Even though I do not believe in evolution, I do not see any reason why it should not be taught in public schools, or all schools for that matter. I would rather let the people in my empire have the choice and happiness of deciding what to believe instead of blindly indoctrinating them from another side of the story. I am afraid that is what is happening in many schools today, as evolution is being taught as fact instead of just another idea of how humans came to be.

Even being how religious I am, I do believe that evolution should be taught in schools so the children can make their own decisions with what they want to believe. They must be open to new ideas and possibilities, so that they can have their own personal views expressed in their opinion, not just what they were taught in school.
I can see why you said this Dr. Suess, but don't many children already have opinions about evolution before they learn about it? I know that as a child I had my views on evolution way before learning about it. Is it really necessary to teach something that many people have so many different views on?

I know that you do not agree with evolution, just like my beliefs, but teaching evolution in school is just like teaching about religions in school- it teaches the students to be tolerant of other people's religions. Also, you state that people have different thoughts on everything. If what everyone agreed upon was the basis for what was being taught, then nothing would be taught in schools. The only problem I find, however, is when evolution is taught as the only way things could have happened, and all other theories are either discussed VERY briefly or completely ignored at all. I think everyone should have the right to practice their own religion, atheism included. I know that you may not agree with me, but, then again, that is just an opinion.

I think that Evolution should be taught in schools but to a certain degree. Many things can be learned from an evolution unit like how organisms change over time, or why certain species don’t survive in a certain environment. The extent to which the subject is taught is up to the school or even the teacher. Some schools may go into way more depth than others, which can cause students to bring religion into the subject. When the student is learning about it the information shouldn’t be shoved into their minds like they have to believe it, they should always know that they have a choice in believing or not. Once the subject has been taught I think that students can choose what they do with the information.
I do think evolution should be taught in school, even if your religion has a different idea of the origin of life. Children should be able to choose whether they believe it or not.

I do agree with you on this Miss. Adele. A person's views on the subject may change drastically after learning about the subject and after seeing all the evidence that goes along with it. The children should be able to choose what they believe in without the influence of there parents. If all parents influenced their child's beliefs then what would make them any different from their ancestors.
Evolution should not be taught in schools. I am Roman Catholic and believe that evolution does not exist. Nonetheless, evolution is just a theory and not a proven fact therefore it is pointless to teach it. Why teach something if you don't even know it is true? I take education very highly for I created the Roger Federer Foundation to help countries that have low literacy rates. I created this foundation because I think that everyone deserves to have a proper education. However, if schools teach evolution(not a proven fact) then it should not be taught because it doesn't provide a proper education.

I strongly agree with you Jim. It is true that there are lots of debates on the theory of evolution. Evolution is not proven and therefore shouldn't be taught. I personally do not wish for evolution to be taught in schools because of my religious beliefs and the fact that it is not a proven fact.

Yes, evolution is a theory. However, in scientific terms, "theory" does not mean "guess" or "hunch". Scientific theories are explanations of natural phenomena built up logically from testable observations and hypotheses. Scientists no longer question whether descent with modification occurred because the evidence supporting the idea is so strong. Also, you said you want children to be able to make their own decisions. Well how are they supposed to do that if they are not informed about all ways life may have come to be? Children are taught about other religions in Social Studies, so why can't they learn about the idea of evolution? It is important for children to learn all about these things so that they can truly make their own decisions when it comes to their beliefs on creation.

Teaching evolution in schools is unnecessary and, frankly, a waste of time and money. Almost all children in schools believe in some sort of religion that relates to a God, or many Gods, so because of their religion, they are likely to believe in Creationism, as I do. The theory of evolution opposes their faith and thinking, so it’s pointless for them to learn as they will simply dismiss it. Furthermore, evolution is described as happening over a long period of time such as millions of years. Time that these children haven’t, and won’t, live to see, which makes them care even less about the subject. I suggest that we stop futilely teaching evolution in schools and spend our resources educating young minds on something of higher value.

I agree with your point of view. I would just like to inform you that a theory in the scientific community doesn't have the same definition as it does elsewhere. Scientific theories are explanations of natural phenomena built up logically from testable observations and hypotheses. Yes, it isn't exactly proven fact, but due to scientists thinking that the evidence they've collected supporting the idea is so strong, they are unwilling to test or look for other examples. It's a shame that they don't believe in God and his creation of the universe.
Mr.Houdini , I am going to respectfully disagree with you. Why is it a waste of money. I personally don not believe in evolution, but I feel we should invest in the next generation by teaching them this. It is their right to choose to believe it or not. So they need to know all the evidence that goes for the theory of evolution and make there own decision. Hey maybe someone in the next generation proves that evolution is not at all a theory, but a fact and proves me wrong. We need to teach them this.

First of all, I think the general populace (peasants) should actually farm year- round rather than go to school. I, on the other hand, was one of the best- educated people in the world! I was never taught this, and I don't think we need to add it to the curriculum. God, of course created the world and everything on it, so why should things have the audacity to make themselves better? It's as if they think that God did not create them perfectly and decide to make themselves "better". So, obviously this “evolution” should not be taught in schools. Working in the fields is much more important anyway.

My Dearest Emperor Nero-
From one well-educated ruler to another, I think that you are correct. Although, I daresay that religion has a much larger than you have anticipated! The one true God created all life perfectly, no? And this just contradicts that completely! I agree with you that the children should avoid theories, and stick to the facts. Young minds are very impressionable if I do say so myself!

I believe that evolution should be taught in schools. This way students can learn about all theories of life so they can choose what they want to believe in. If we did not teach evolution to children they would be sheltered from something that is a very common belief. We should be able to teach evolution without being biased so the students can make their own decision. Of course not all students will choose to accept the theory, but it is their right that they should at least be taught about it to make their own choice.
Yes evolution should be taught in schools unless the school runs on what they believe. As a child I remember certain families sending their young children being sent to private schools. These private schools did not teach evolution. I however learned about evolution. To keep in mind that evolution is a theory not fact is very important. Even though it goes against some peoples beliefs, it does not go against everyone's.
Mr. Lincoln-
I completely agree with your statement. Students should be able to at least know about this popular theory. I do have a question for you though. If the schools get to choose on their own if they are to teach this topic, do you think there will be debate between the schools and do you think that parents will want to transport their child to a school very far away because the school closest to them teaches it? Again, I completely agree with your statement but I am wondering about the ways you are going to enforce it.
Evolution should be taught in schools. Children should have the opportunity to learn about the theory of where organisms originated from. Even though for many people, it would contradict with their beliefs. It's okay to learn evolution you don't have to believe in it to learn it. Plus, it expands a person's knowledge on nature and how it works.
