There has been much to-do lately about the teaching of evolution in American public schools, and I thought I might weight in with a side of issue that you have probably not heard about before. Some people might try to have to believe that science and the scientific community have conclusively proven Darwin’s theory of evolution to be 100% true. The fact is, though, that evolution is still just a theory. It has never been conclusively proven and I have never read a book that presented any evidence supporting it. Evolution, along with the theory of a round or “spherical†earth, Newton’s Laws of Motion, the laws and principles concerning gravity, and the existence of pi, are all completely unproven and have only been proven in controlled circumstances. I have never seen the whole Earth at once, have you? No one has! So we cannot say for certain that these theories are fact.

The truth is, I cannot be certain that anything ever happened before June 13th, 1983—the day I was born. There is no conclusive proof that the world existed before that date, there are just numerous untested account and theories. Furthermore, to me, my birth was most certainly the most important event in the history of time. It is totally illogical for me to believe that there was not a plan involved in my birth, and it defies all of my senses to think that my life has not been somehow significant and completely logical for me to believe that June 13th, 1983 is the most important date in history. Therefore, I would like science textbooks in American schools to be required along with containing information on evolution to have a small passage detailing my equally valid point of view. The passage should contain a small picture of me, an explanation of my beliefs, and a focus on June 13th, 1983 as a possible date for the beginning of the universe.

“But evolution is scientific fact, right? How can you argue with science?†These are common questions, but here a few things you should consider:

FACT: Radiocarbon dating is not 100% sound. I cannot know if a fossil is truly millions of years old without my personal account of it being as such.

FACT: In my lifetime, I have never discovered a single fossil or artifact that I could conclusively say was created before June 13, 1983.

FACT: Evolution is contradicted by the basic laws of science. Evolution teaches that “creation†is continually being accomplished by nature’s evolutionary processes, but the most basic law of science, the Law of Energy Conservation, states that nothing is now being created or destroyed. So, nothing has ever been created ever that wasn’t around when the universe began 21 years ago.

FACT: If physical science is governed by laws, then we know that there cannot be randominity in the world. If this is so, then the random evolution of species is false.

Let me be very clear: I am not a scientist, I just want to change your child’s science curriculum in a way that forwards my completely nonscientific agenda. I’m not asking you to not teach your children evolution. I am just asking for equal time to be given to equal theories. All I am asking is that both sides of this argument be presented to students and that the students can get together with their parents and decide for themselves how the universe was actually formed. It should be stressed that my argument is not religious, it is merely an unscientific theory based on exclusive logic which forms an arbitrary set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader, myself, by which I live my life and encourage all others to do so. I am not pushing religion in your schools. I am merely asking that equal sides of an issue get equal press, and I think that’s what America is all about.
