What do you think it means? Science studies from Creationist viewpoint

Never mind the fact that scientists have all the ingredients for life in a dead fish but for some holy reason cannot bring that fish to life. Weird!!

I think that maybe you weren't paying attention in high school biology class.

I took creationist biology I wouldn't do that to a child. The problem with creationist biology isn't so much the creationism, which every student can choose to believe or not believe, it's that you have to present all animals as though there's no organizing principle (evolution) that could explain how some are related to another. So we couldn't be taught why/how simpler organisms and more complex organisms were connected or anything along those lines. Biology that way is just tedious memorization of kingdom-phylum-class-order-family-genus-species but no story at all. It was mind-numbing and I never took another biology class again.

I am chuckling as I read the fear in folks over a different point of view. I attended a church school from pk to 5th grade, had an excellent education in a nurturing environment. I went on to a Christian school until 12th grade. I was likewise taught creationism, and also studied and compared world religions. Got an excellent education, went on to college and a top 10 law school. It is short sighted to say those from a differing viewpoint won't be able to function, or somehow are socially different. I have been successful academically, and in this DC Job market.
OP, do what feels right for your family, and don't be afraid to share a different perspective with your child.

Good thing you wanted to be a lawyer and not a doctor. Things might have worked out differently in that case.

I could have written this (attended christian school k-12, taught creationism).
I also turned out a-ok. (top college, top grad school, great job, high HHI).

Do you also consider denial of gravity to be just a different point of view?

My opinion is that science class should teach science. If that makes me fearful, so be it.

Sorry, evolution is a fact. Things evolve. Period.

Stay far away from this school if you have any hopes of your children ever getting jobs in the real world.

False. Evolution has never been observed to change species . Natural selection is a fact. Fruit flys have generations in hours but have never become anything other than a fruit fly . The change of species is completely a theory and educated guess.

That's great--if you ever get pneumonia or MRSA, you just tell them to give you the cheap penicillin and not to bother with those expensive new drugs. People who profess disbelief in evolution shouldn't benefit from treatments that address threats resulting from mutation, natural selection, adaptation, and evolution.

That's natural selection dum-dum. It's all still bacteria.. It hasn't changed into a tadpole or anything other than bacteria. Evolution claims an amoeba changed species all the way up to man. No evidence of this type of change has ever been observed.

OP, you don't want your kid to be this dumb. Seriously. Find a school that teaches science (and, apparently, reading).
