Yeah I know that's what i said but she insisted it was true... she did a research paper on traveling through Europe and that was included in it.
a few years ago it was still tradition in Spain for (most) girls to have their Communion in a white dress.
in some european countries it is also tradition to wear white on a funeral because it symbolises hope in a time of need
etc

As usual, your post made no sense and showed that you didn't read anything in this thread and have no understanding of the topic.Monkeys did NOT turn into humans! What is so hard about that to understand? Apes and humans have a common ancestor. At one point in history part of a population of this common ancestor became seperated from the rest of the species, and over a very long period of time evolved into what are now humans, while the rest evolved into all the various modern species of primates. PLEASE use some common sense before spouting random crap.
Creationism is not taught because it is not science, has no factual basis, and has nothing in the way of evidence to back it up. It is based purely in faith.
There are others, yes, evolution is just the most credible, well-known one. I remember reading about others too, but I can't remember what they are now.
So where's the "missing link" that proves the THEORY...that's right..EVOLUTION IS A T-H-E-O-R-Y. Both theories have evidence to support them. Seeing as how neither Creationism nor Evolution has been completely PROVEN by scientific studies as of yet..I don't see the harm in teaching both. Besides, parents who wish to not have they're children learn about this THEORY..can easily just opt their children out of class when its being taught. Oh and in response to the question I asked..there has been no "transitional species" found that links man and Ape to a common ancestor..

WHAT?!?
Totally inaccurate, whobdamandog.
First of all, look up what a theory is. Science deals with theories to explain phenomenons. Theories are tested, scientific models that have withstood scientific assault on their integrity. Saying it is a theory does not, in any way, diminish its value. All these people who say 'it is ONLY a theory', as if a theory is 'only' anything, are simply expressing ignorance of the nature of theory.
Secondly, Creationism is NOT a theory. It is a belief only. It does not even remotely meet the criteria of being a theory. This is why it is not science.
you miss something whob... scientists never have hidden the fact that evolution is a theory! they KNOW it is!
compare that to creatism who do nothing but say "we are right, the proof is in the bible" and ergo don't change their views (it was only in 1993 they admitted Galileio was right!)...
I have yet to see evidence of creatism, and please if you feel obligated to list them leave retarded reasons as "I think of something so perfect which I call god. I, myself, am imperfect so I can't have created it ergo this perfect creature must have put it in me" out of it.
and of course you can't expect them to get every single damn fossil in the link between human and ancestor! you know how many steps there were? you know how difficult it is to get a body to preserve?
You evolutionist are shooting yourselves in the foot by not allowing creationism to be taught alongside evolution in schools.
When you compare/contrast the two theories there is clearly one winner as far as science, evidence and reason go.
Creationism doesn't hold water when compared to evolution.
Present all information, theories, evidence and let the student make up his/her own decisions.

2. there is NO room for creationism in a subject about science. Teach creationism if you must in a class about religion but don't mix them up

Yes, present the information.
But not in Science class! Subjects should be taught where they belong.
You don't teach Literature in Gym or Mathematics in Literature.
Creationism should not be taught in Science.
That is only rational- to do otherwise is educational insanity.
