If you are a science teacher there is no other explanation than evolution!!! If you attempt to provide an alternative as a science teacher you are not being true to your chosen profession because it teaches that you must be able to test your position and and prove it by retesting and obtaining the same result. I have yet to find any proof in religion because it is based on faith (myth).
Of course not . there are no alternatives ... It's about time that people realise the Scopes trial is over , there aren't any sensible alternatives . Other ideas are NOT science , so they have no place in a classroom .
NO! Beliefs can, and should only, be taught in churches, synagogues, temples and mosques etc. Schools are funded by taxpayer money as part of the local government and therefore they are to teach facts. Besides, if you teach one religion, then you must give equal time to all religions and there are approximately 313 religions currently being practiced in the USA. There is no way any school could possibly cover them all. Besides, as an atheist, I don't think ANY of them should be taught to anyone so they definitely should not be taught in schools.
No. Since there isn't any alternative worthy to be taught.
However, they should discuss creationism, intelligent design or similar nonsense in class in order to warn students about it.
There are only two main alternatives 1) creationism and 2) evolution. Are there any others theories we should know about?
