Content: Many people who have strong religious beliefs consider the teachings of their religion to be factual. As such, some Christians do not believe evolution is true, because the creationist teachings in the Bible are contrary to the scientific theory of evolution. I think young folks need to be taught that people have the freedom to believe what they want to believe, and that it’s okay for people to have disagreements. Young folks need to understand that some people base their believes on empirical scientific evidence, and some base their beliefs on faith. Neither approach is “wrong.” This issue was brought up during my Biology class, during my freshman year in high school (a private Christian school.) Our teacher possessed a masters degree in biology, and was a devout Christian. The theory of evolution was covered in our textbook, and it was obviously presented to us from a scientific standpoint. Before we started discussing this chapter in class, our teacher told us that the scientific theory of evolution would be discussed in the class, as it was presented in the textbook. Despite his own religious beliefs, he did think that it was appropriate to discuss this topic from a non-secular standpoint.
