We have been arguing for decades (if not centuries) about the origin of life on Earth. Was life created by God? Or were we all originally amoeba shocked to life by a freak of nature?
Our Kansas State Board of Education is going to be making a decision soon about what our children are taught in school about the origin of our species. Of course, this decision is supposedly going to be made based upon scientific fact vs. religious fantasy. However, to the best of my knowledge, no scientist has EVER been able to claim that evolution is a fact, the same as no pastor can ever claim (based upon scientific theory) that creationism is a fact.
Until one of the theories or the other is proven to be 100% fact, I recommend that we teach both theories equally, and let our children, armed with knowledge, make their own decision about what they believe is the origin of life. When we can scientifically prove there is a God, or when scientists can find the infamous “missing link”, then, and only then can you say that the other side is wrong, and should not be taught in school.
It all boils down to the basis that a theory is a theory and is still simply an opinion until you can find the facts to make it not a theory but the truth!
