osuche,

Do you believe in Intelligent Design? Or perhaps in Evolution? I prefer the descriptive abilities of the theory first published by Charles Darwin in The Origin Of Species. I do so primarily because a pre-existing belief is not needed for it to function effectively.


And what do you think your kids should be taught in school?
That mutation/variation together with natural selection is the most widely accepted theory that explains evolution.


One specific notion, or several? In any scientific domain, there is usually only one principle paradigm. All others should be referred to as alternatives, and the reasons why they are not the principle should be reviewed.


Are you opposed to mentioning evolution? Or creationism?
Not at all. However, creationism, as it is not falsifiable, is by definition unscientific. It should not be presented as such.
