NON EVOLOUTIONIST ONLY, on evoloution problems?

Question

my evolutionist science teacher will be getting into the chapter of evolution soon and i am a christian and are afraid i will get really angry and upset when he tries to talk about these lies as if they are truth b/c this is how my science teacher acts. I need some advice on what to say to him and how far is too far when i talk.

Answer 1

:}

Eact is always acceptable

remember evolution is a theory

you Ara in school to learn learn the theory. but remember your beliefs. If you have questions ask them out of class to Christians who are well informed. go slowly at first until you find out how much you can say or challenge.

Answer 2

I am for Icarus and Cobalt Daisy's answer they are non-confrontational and makes really for a GREAT STUDENT - TEACHER - CLASSMATE RELATIONSHIPS. Please review your beliefs and check out both theories:

1) the Theory of Creationism

2) the Theory of Evolution



Weigh all the valid points in each theory, try to find a common ground whereby you can understand both theories thoroughly. Keep an open mind. And be firm with your convictions. Remember no one wins in an argument about evolution and creation. The only loser will be the protagonists. Whatever theory you would like to hold on to, keep at it. master all the salient points and try to convince your teacher about them, If you can't or he wouldn't then leave it up to fgaith and prayer that everything will be all right and alright. check out first if he is an evolutionist or a creationist before you form a conclusive NO No about evolution. I believe in Creationism but I have studied everything about Evolution too. There are many missing links in both theories and the modern world is not ready to accept more theories than these two now extant. Be a good pupil and listen carefully and study all the salient points of Evolution. I hope you will learn more to be tolerant and accept other's views or theories at the same time standing firm on your beliefs. Go(o)d Luck and more power.

Answer 3

Assuming it's normal public school (k-12) science, get a note from your parents that tells the school that evolution is against your religion. If the school is teaching you evolution they might as well be teaching you your beliefs are wrong.



On the other hand, you don't have to be upset about this. You could take the opportunity to learn about evolution and think of it as a view point other than your own that's vital for you to understand to defend your own opposing beliefs. After all, if you remain ignorant to the details, you can never hold an intelligent debate on the matter.



Of course you may want to ignore me since I think Creationism is nonsensical.

Answer 4

I'd say keep an open mind, and realize that they are theories, not lies, and in my opinion, have more credibility than religion. (Just my opinion. But to call them lies is unreasonable and delusional.) Certainly, maintain your personal beliefs and speak your mind. But be open to all possibilities, take in all the information you can, and be willing to listen, as well. Above all, don't insist that your personal religious beliefs are any more factual than anyone else's. That would be doing the same thing you seem to be upset with the evolutionists for. Make any points you feel it appropriate to make, but be calm and rational about it, and keep an open mind when considering the responses you may receive.

Answer 5

Well ya know what, im a Christian myself and I have something very interesting to tell you.



An Atheist actually proved that Evolution was not possible and that we had to have been created.



However the Atheist was not ready to admit that God exists so he decided to come up with the Space Aliens brought us here Theory.



Charles Darwin himself actually made some admissions that Creation had to have occured (however the story of him becoming a Christian on his Deathbed is an Urban Legend though).



Whenever I have had to write down stuff about Evolution because I refuse to write it down as fact I write down that "it is believe or it is said." as if I am expressing others believe the Evolution junk.

Answer 6

I know you asked for non-evolutionists only, but I had to pop in here to ask:



Why don't you just keep an open mind? Evolution and Christianity aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Whether evolution is real or not, I would hope that you wouldn't go in trying to disprove something without hearing both sides. I don't know how much you actually know about evolution (there's a lot of misunderstandings about it, even among some answers here) and you're certainly welcome to research anti-evolutionary viewpoints, but I don't think it would hurt to at least keep an open mind about it...

Answer 7

Honestly, don't get into a battle of wits with your teacher. It is not a good idea to discuss it in front of the class because he may be embarassed and he may think it disrespectful for you to question him in front of the other students- may undermine his "authoritative" position.



Discuss this matter with your parents. Let them know what's going on and that you would not like to be a part of that discussion. Also, make sure to let your guidance counselor know; it's a good idea to make administrators aware of your wishes. Then your guidance counsler can handle the matter diplomatically and appropriately. :)



Many parents pull their children from health/physical/sexual education classes on a whim. If that is permissible then what you are seeking should be as well. :)



Good for you!! Stand up for your beliefs!!!!!!! God Bless You! :)

Answer 8

Sure. Check out the materials at www.LivingWaters.com Call them if you need to know which materials will help you, and maybe have a conversation with someone there that can help.



Its really easy to handle these athiest/evolutionists.

Answer 9

You should remember that your explanation currently has no scientific model. Scientist, when they see a phenomena in nature, don't like to hear Christians say, "I don't know how. God must have done it."

Evolution is a model that has no "Causal Agent." Explain that this frustrates you. If they don't want to hear, "God did it," then you don't want to hear "God didn't do it."

If he is humble enough to agree to this arrangement, then you're good. In a year or two, Reasons to Believe at www.reasons.org will have a completed scientific creation model that will be kicking evolution's butt.



God bless!

Answer 10

You have to accept that other people have differnt points of view - if it's not alright for him to talk about evolution then it's not alright for you to talk about creaionism.



Bear in mind that it's only your opinion that what he is talking about is lies, others may think that what you're talking about is lies.



Far better to add constructively to the conversation and put forward your ideas based on your beliefs than it is to effectively accuse him of lying.

Answer 11

i think you need to look at it this way, he can choose to believe evolution and you can believe that God created the world in seven days. i myself am cristian and we spent a great deal talking about this with the leaders of my church and the translations went two ways. the text meant days or a long period of time. this is what my priest said, so even he believes in evolution, but he also belives that God also created the universe. that is what i believe. maybe you should try to entertain the same idea

Answer 12

Know thy enemy. If science is your enemy (which it clearly is) then you should learn everything you can about it so that you can effectively refute it! If you can't offer any convincing arguments to your teacher, maybe it's because your arguments aren't valid. Test the validity of your beliefs by defending them. Only a straw man hides from the flame.

Answer 13

Read a really wonderful book by a Christian named Ken Miller called "Finding Darwins God."

I was not a believer in school, but I can imagine it will be hard. Hope the links help! Stand strong!

Answer 15

I would suggest talking to your teacher in private beforehand about your concern. I don't think your teacher wants to offend you or discount your beliefs.

Answer 16

Listen to him, and do the work that needs to be done, but beleive what you beleive. In other words, shut up and get a good grade, and then argue.

Answer 17

Evolution and creation, co-exist.

Answer 18
