“If you want to believe that you and your family came from apes, that’s fine. I’ll accept that,” he said Friday. “I just don’t happen to think that I did.”
As for what should be taught in public schools, Huckabee said he wants “schools to acknowledge that there are views that are different than evolution.”
See my last post for more on the origins (no pun intended) of his comments.

Should we “Teach the controversy”? When we teach astronomy does astrology merit “equal time”

Which is the controversy? Evolution or Creation? It’s a very real debate at the moment. One I don’t have a problem my children understanding. I’d just like schools to acknowledge upward evolution (meaning molecules-to-man evolution) has no supporting evidence and has just as much, if not more, to do with faith as creationism.
But let me go further. There’s this mindset that schools have to teach and be everything to our children. They shouldn’t be. Parents should be teaching children as well.
On that tangent, let me also say you can teach your kids the Ten Commandments in about 2 minutes with this power point or if you want it as a pdf, click here.
My oldest son actually put his faith in Christ going through this.

This kind of ignorance is frightening. For 100 years a plethora of evidence has been accumulated to support evolution. To date, there is NO significant evidence to contradict evolution.
To date there is NO evidence to support creationism. Any controversy is political / religious and not of science.

Hi Sandy, sorry it’s taken so long to get back w/ you. I’ve been a little busy.
You mentioned a plethora of evidence, but didn’t mention even a single source. And there is a plenty of controversy within the scientific community; as well as plenty of belief in a biblical worldview.

Just as a brief example… any science, from biology, to chemistry, to palaeontology, to archeology to modern medicine, uses natural selection as a cornerstone. It ties everything together. Please just do me a favor and pick up ANY science magazine and read just about any article. The majority of the work that scientists do is based a basic understanding evolution. Without understanding it you come to dead ends. Is it any wonder that we share some 98% of our dna with chimps and bonobos, but share much less dna with species who shared more distanced common ancestors? What about the dinosaurs… Do you honestly believe that more than 500 genera of dinosaurs rode on the ark??? Teach your kids whatever you want… I believe it’s intellectually abusive to teach them this kind of blatant ignorance and disrespect for truth.
