It's so hard to counter that argument though, because carbon-dating definitely shows the Earth is MUCH older than 6000 years. And I believe evolution does happen. Maybe not so far as species changing to other species but I definitely think our bodies and animals evolve over time. There has always been a battle between science and religion and with so many schools being funded by the government people get their panties in abunch over the gov't funding a school that teaches creationism. I don't think they should teach anything about it in the younger years of high school. If someone wants to teach evolution or creationism I think it should be when the kids are older and can make up their own minds.

What I don't understand about carbon dating is how can anyone know for sure that a rock is older than whatever. I mean just because a chemical turns a different color or whatever happens, how come someone know for sure that they are right.

Someone said something about the Bible saying the Earth has only been here for about 6000 years.. Well if I'm not mistaken that's since adam was put here..

The Bible says that 1000 years is as a day, and a Day as a 1000 years. I paraphrased a little bit there but hopefully ya understand.. So no one really knows for sure how long the earth has been here.

As far as teaching evolution, well IMO they shouldn't teach it as what actually happened.. They should teach it as a theory. Doing anything else would be like trying to teach religion in school. Cause religion is based on faith, and since no one can actually prove that the evolution of man started with a single cell from who knows what, then technically that is based of the faith of Darwin being correct. So to teach it would be contradictory to saying they can't teach religion in schools
