Argumentative Essay:
Why Creationism Should be Taught in Schools
Content: Creationism does have a bit more reasonable parts to it. It is much harder to believe that a miraculous explosion created human thought, conscience and inner feeling than that an all mighty God created them. Both evolution and creationism cannot be proven. Therefore it would be fair if both theories were taught in public schools for both children that do not believe in God and those who do. They can be well educated on both sides of the controversy thus, this can increment their abilities to analyze and be independent to believe whatever they want to believe. It would be much better than brain washing them with one theory and banning the other. Critics of creationism being taught in school believe that creationism violates the first amendment in the United States’ Constitution that prohibits the government to encourage a religious doctrine. They claim that creationism is a religious doctrine, and it is, but evolution is just as religious as creationism (Theissen, Kerwin). A religion is a belief system and evolution is a belief. It is basically confidence in an idea that cannot be proven, but one believes in it because of faith.
