I believe students should be taught various points of view and therefore not be indoctrinated in one philosophy. I understand that the majority of scientist believe that Evolution is a fact but I have yet to meet one scientist who could give a first hand account. We can see through fossil records a path of evolution but if we didn’t witness it directly then I believe it is not a fact that is how we came to be. There is also much evidence supporting the theory of “Intelligent Design/Creationism” that should be carefully evaluated and tested. When people ask me what I believe is the truth I tell them that my science mind leans to evolution but my spiritual side leans to creation. Therefore I can honestly and proudly say, I’m not sure.
I do believe though that science in general should be based on experiments that can be proven over and over again in various conditions not based on a philosophy. Otherwise science is just another form of faith that puts it’s trust in man rather then a divine source.
