Ok so basically every thing should be tought at school as is every religous view so that childern can make there own minds up and also evolution shcould be tought too coz non of them have been proven to be true.

Evolution has been observed. We know it is true.

But what about those people who believe creationism to be truth, surely that means it's unfair towards them? (I'm just making an argument here)
 
 They're just plain wrong. Schools should teach the truth indiscriminately.  

 If someone didn't believe in sums, we wouldn't consider letting them skip maths class.

But some people genuinely believe evolution to be completely wrong.

In which case they should gather facts and present them as evidence. Not just decide that it's wrong because a god did it.

And they're wrong.

The wonderful thing about science is that it is not subject to opinion. It doesn't care if it hurts people's feelings. It is simply information, and science classes exist to dispense this information to the masses.

I know they're wrong - I'm just stating the fact that some people do genuinely believe science to a be scam.

It's not what they think they have found, it is what they have found.

A policeman does not have to go back in time to prove who murdered whom, and a scientist does not have to go back in time to prove what happened to what.

We gather evidence, and draw conclusions.

False - murderers are often found out because of EVIDENCE - DNA, for example.

Not if the murderer's fingerprints are on the murder weapon, the murderer's footprints lead away from the body, and the murderer's clothes are stained with the victim's blood.

Evolution has left plenty of fingerprints.

But they wouldn't just use the DNA or fingerprints or whatever. It's an accumulation of vast amounts of evidence which means the police can prove who the murderer is. Flimsy evidence doesn't stand up in court - if evolution was only backed up by one piece of evidence, people wouldn't believe it.

You do realise the murder scene is a metaphor, right?

Some creationists genuinely believe that fossils etc. are all fake, and that they've planted by God so that he can find out who the true believers really are
