Question

What I want to know is why bio teachers shove evolution down our throats.

Answer 1

Because, they're lonely and need someone else to talk to about crap kids dont really care about -_- i just finished the evolution module a couple of weeks ago, it sucked...

Answer 2

its not even a plausible subject, when you challenge them, they don't have an answer.

Answer 3

Exactly... smh i dont even believe in evolution... there's no way

Answer 4

i'm not buying into it.

Answer 5

Yeah..

Answer 6

and as you can see, no "pro-biologists" are answering this question.

Answer 7

lol not plausible...
Over a 1000 scientific researches have found evidence for evolution.
It's 100% proven, and the people who deny it are commonly religious people. The point is, most of them don't know the difference between evolution and origin. Evolution just means that species adapt to the environment or undergo spontaneous mutations that give them benefit over the non-evolved species.

Answer 8

Well, I know a lot of people don't believe in evolution, but I think maybe teachers teach it to see how scientists observe things and create theories. How they observe and gather information to create theories. Do you believe in adaption, mutation, natural selection? c;

Answer 9

But everyone takes things for face value, and never actually looks into it.

Answer 10

And if it is legit, there are millions of monkeys, millions of humans, where is everything in the middle?

Answer 11

In my opinion, it's not possible because things are just too detailed to just have happened

Answer 12

Though evolution isn't an extremely big part of science curriculum, it is one of the most largely debated topics ever. What Darwin discovers goes against almost all religions and makes people feel torn between evidence and their faith. It continues to cause controversy to this day and is a huge topic for many people.

Answer 13

Maybe when you say that "everyone takes things for face value, and never actually looks into it.", you might just be talking about yourself, or just some people. c;

Answer 14

there are a lot of high school aged people that if you ask them something, and you ask them why you think that is the correct answer, they will say, because that is what they were taught in school.

Answer 15

@lxl-rhea-lxl perhaps it's too detailed in order for you to understand it?
Read some books about genetics, mutations and you'll understand why it's definitely not "not plausible".
I have to admit it is extremely complex material but simply denying it because it's "too detailed" is kinda dumb.

Answer 16

*Grabs popcorn* this is a really good debate... i live for stuff like this
And no @thomaster i mean, if you look at all of the details of people, animals, plants, just our environment period, how can evolution play a part in that? Yeah, my POV may be because I believe that God made all things, I mean, it says so right in the Bible. BUt even when i didn't have much Bible knowledge, i still didn't believe in it because i find it incredibly stupid that people can believe such a thing.

Answer 17

so if i write a "non-fiction" book, and put a bunch of bs in it, people will believe it because it's in a book?

Answer 18

Yeah... most likely

Answer 19

oh well, can't reason with some peope

Answer 20

Yeah, i wish... i love debates =^.^=

Answer 21

You know, that's a very stupid argument which can be countered immediately.
I find it incredibly stupid that people can believe such a fictional piece of literature where a god can magically create everything out of nothing.

If something is very complex (like an organism, or the universe) and people cannot understand it, they have the tendency to say a "god" made/did it. It's the easy way. People used to think that a thunderstorm happened when a god was angry... now we all know it's just a natural phenomenon. Just a matter of time before we figure out the universe and everything. When that time comes we'll all laugh at our ancestors saying "how could they possibly have invented such a hilarious idea as religion and start countless of wars over it xD"

Answer 22

Okay, but think about it this way. In science, its all abut facts, proof, experimentation. But in 1981, an astronomer named Robert Jastrow said this " To their chargrin [scientists] have no clear cut answer, because chemists have never succeeded in reproducing nature's experiments on the creation of life out of nonliving matter. Scientists do not know how that happened" So it wouldnt be realistic to reject something that has been fully proved to be a scientific fact, would it?

Answer 23

We are not rejecting the theories on the origin of life here.
You are denying the idea of evolution. Those are 2 completely different things.
Evolution has nothing to do with who or what "made" a species. It means a species changes over a tremendous amount of time (millions/billions of years). Now there are organisms who evolve in a much shorter time (bacteria/virus and stuff), we can do experiments, changing the environment and notice that these little organisms adapt themselves.

Answer 24

One, I am not basing this off of any religion, but some of these scientists theories are really out there. And I'm sure people adapt to their environment, and such, but I don't think it is as on a large scale as many believe.
