Commentary on Anna's Political Page

I am commenting on my colleagues blog on "Science Curriculum up for Debate." Evolution has not been scientifically proven and Creationism has not been disproved. There have been atheists who went on a mission to disprove creationism, (A Case for Christ, Lee Strobell), and ended up becoming a Christian during their research. The reason evolution has not been scientifically proven is because no one witnessed the beginning of human life, which means the people who believe in evolution have faith that we evolved from a different species. So I would suggest that both theories are faith-based. In the documentary Expelled, produced by Ben Stein, he talked to highly accredited professors who have wrote books on evolution, but when he asked them where we came from, they could not give an answer. They had come down to the cell where we came from, but they could not tell him where the cell came from. So when the blog stated, "when it comes to teaching our kids; they need to know what has been scientifically proven", then we should not be teaching them evolution either because it is not scientifically proven. I think it would be fair to teach evolution as a theory, but not as scientific evidence. I believe that only teaching evolution is close minded and judgmental that Creationism does not exist. If they are going to teach one, then they should teach them all.
