Why did schools stop teaching creationism?

I can't believe people are taking this thread seriously.

That's not true. Were you around 6000 years ago? No? Then how do you know for sure?

Neither is evolution, it is a theory

Well which word should he have used instead of 'creating'?

An isotope is a version of an element containing a certain number of neutrons. Some isotopes (for example, carbon-14) are unstable, and will gradually turn into different isotopes (in this example, carbon-13) over very long periods of time. The carbon dioxide in the air has a more-or-less fixed concentration of carbon-14 because it's being constantly produced from other isotopes by ionising radiation in the upper atmosphere. When plants fix carbon dioxide in the air into their own biomass through photosynthesis, the carbon-14 concentration begins to slowly decrease, as it converts to carbon-13. This continues even after the plant has died and been fossilised. Here's the punchline: the observed ratios of carbon-13 to carbon-14 in many fossilised plants found on Earth suggest that those plants lived and died much, much more than 6000 years ago - on the order of millions of years, in fact. This is why we don't need to have been around 6000 years ago to know that the world already existed. We have found the remains of life forms that lived on Earth far earlier than that.

You're going to reject this out of hand, of course, but I had to at least try.

Was trolling lol... seem to have been pretty convincing though.

Since evolution is just a theory and hasn't been confirmed, isn't it incredibly arrogant of the scientific community to tout their beliefs as the be all end all, so much that they actually ban the teaching of alternative viewpoints?

For people who are supposed to be open minded to new ideas, I find that astounding... when the theory actually becomes fact then maybe we can go down that route but until then it is ridiculous that creationism isn't taught as standard.

Evolution? Do you guys actually believe in this bull****? It's a weak theory bundled together with random ideas including humans coming from monkeys, snakes losing legs, and birds having ancestors who were dinosaurs - absolutely nonsensical diabolical tripe!
