Forums → WEPR → Teaching Evolution in High Schools ~ The Age Old Debate

Believe it or not we share 98% of our genes with monkeys, and knowing this we should respect the possibility of of evolution as a plausable idea.

I believe we should be teaching our children all possible theories. There's no reason to exclude some knowledge from a children's education just because a group of people don't believe in it.

Allow ChillzMaster to cool you guys off.

The bible has Christians believe that Adam was created by God, and Eve was born from his rib.

Come on. "born from a rib"....that's slightly impossible, and also induces the belief of alchemy, crafting something from a similar thing.

I am a slight atheist, but I am drifting back to protestantism for this exact topic.

God must have crafted the first species with the ability to be able to become better, to change. We see that muscular males get plenty of females, and their sperm gets passed on potentially numerous numbers of times. The same goes for other animals.

The only difference between humans and other animals, is a large brain. Brawn cannot stop it, and speed cannot. Who wins, a five-foot spear, or a claw?

Who wins, guns, or teeth?

We as humans evolved even as recently as thousands of years ago! Humans are also based into species, and dont insult me for this.

But Blacks are internally the same, but physically and mentally different, the same with Asians, Europeans, Native Americans, Caucasians, we're all different species, like Cobras, rattlesnakes, and boas under Snakes.

As we moved, our skin tones changed, our bodies evolved, and before "modern" shelter, our foreheads stuck out as makeshift umbrellas. Two thousand years later, taht went away due to us building our own shelters! We are surpreme, only because of our minds. One day, another trait may defeat our motor-skills and problem-solving skills, but i doubt it will.

ChillzMaster, plz don't make me start on Religion, not a threat, but I don't wanna spend 10 minutes of my time typing why it most PROBABLY isn't real, no proof, no game

Razaki, people from different areas are different, if you realise in cold areas where Dwarves would live, they're small and 'fat' for a reason, the skin overlapping them makes them warmer for the cold seasons, Black people that are in the hottest areas are tall and skinny to get the heat out A.S.A.P, and they're Black for this Scientific Reason - Look it up

Race and Species are in no way the same thing, they are in one way or another, different races have different traits, depending on their ancestors and how they were brought up, think about it - The Hundred Years war affected more than 3 generations, that is a MAJOR difference, it probably makes a fair bit of War-Fitness today, all I'm saying is that we adapt, I said earlier we broke off the Evolution Tree - Yes we did, but that has actually made something so much better, in a way, because now we adapt and understand so much!
Let's say we over millions of years go back into an ape-like creature, we would know some of the most basic things, writing for example, we'll learn how to coordinate proper writing with our hands - We can learn how to do it better and better, even though that's obvious you would never see an Ape try so hard to get something like that, it's a feat that usually Humans would do only....
Now, a few more million years later we're back to humans, IQ and intelligence Levels went sky-rocketing, more than ever, we after 22 years know how to build a tent extremely well - Why, we've done this about 1000 years ago! More actually, it goes way back!

All I'm saying is that Evolution has so much things that are right, 98% of our genes are from Apes, true, very true, go with it my friend, it has the proof, the evidence, the theories but not the will to be followed, because people are hooked onto religion because it was made longer ago, it's probably a lie, I'm not saying it is, but I doubt that a higher Entity would come to me when I die, the best thing about evolution is that it supports curiosity, I love the fact I don't know what happens when I die, I am looking forward to dying, which seems mental-asylum-y to alot of you, I know I've got alot to look forward to, but death is an amazing thing, sounds unorthodox lol.... Someone can continue this or ask me to later lol.... You know what I mean now - I hope, cya!

All I'm saying is that Evolution has so much things that are right, 98% of our genes are from Apes,

40% of human genes are identical to those of a lettuce.

Firefly, fair arguement, but I'm not talking about today or tomorrow, over millions of years it will switch what happened because of the Hundred years War, think about the Grandfather Paradox, if you went back in time and killed your own Grandfather your own Father wouldn't have been born - Your dead, worlds entirely changed, same with this, war didn't happen - Joan of Arc is unknown - France didn't need to regenerate - Resources would've flew in - Merceneries wouldn't have been needed

Those few makes a difference now, not even on the Evolution Tree - It's how it works, now some of the genes from the War Effort will affect us over time

50% Ape 50% Human
10% Banana 50% Ape 50% Human
20% Banana 30% Tamato 50% Ape 50% Human

Obviously this is wrong, but it works like that in my opinion, they stack and not replace - I might be wrong, if so tell me, but this tells alot of what happened (Or what might've happened)

Anyway, I need to get going, goodbye!

I'm not getting into details or I will write another wall of text... Simply put, teach the evidence behind both evolution and creation. You could have them in separate classes, just have both.

If you don't believe there is evidence to support religion, see my post in the one about the debate...

Think of a dog. They are all dogs, but some are big and some are small. Some are white and some are black. They are all dogs though... Same principle applies here...

O.o o.O I don't check on here for a couple days and this plays gets all these long posts that I'm to lazy to read... ^.^

Maybe I should hand this forum over to someone else now... It's getting to be to much for me to handle. I've never had one this big before...
