Darwin's theory - is not easy to press the religious version

Duma deputies asked students to study not only Darwin's theory, but also a religious version of the origin of man. You must make adjustments to multiple disciplines. First, in the course of history and biology.
In his words, some scientists are ready to correct textbooks, such that they represent all of the theory of the universe. According to the initiators of change, it will help to educate school children respect for different points of view. Extent feasible, figured correspondent "Vesti FM" Nikolai Osipov. Osipov: Darwin was not alone, there are other versions of the origin of man, decided to remind the State Duma and offered a big change in schools.
And it is not about a single course on religion, where you can see the theological views of the universe. MPs want to adjust the traditional scientific disciplines, such as history and biology. One of the initiators - the first deputy chairman of the Constitutional Legislation Vyacheslav Lysakov - explained in our air need for such amendments to the educational program. Lysakov: The conversation is about the fact that so far in the school curriculum has remained the only theory of the origin of man - is the Darwinian theory. If this is so, it is not very well, because it has long been strongly criticized. And, perhaps, we must remember that there are other points of view.
Violence, but it is necessary to learn anything, but do not force learning and Darwin's theory, children should be a broad look at the issue. Osipov: Vyacheslav Lysakov already supported by many members of parliament, and they claim that the number of scientists are now ready to rewrite the textbooks. This is necessary not only for educational purposes. Alternate versions of the creation of man, according to lawmakers, to help educate tolerance in society and to encourage respect for different points of view. The scientific community agrees, judging by comments the deputy director of the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Zorin. Zorin: Of course, Darwin's theory - a hypothesis that is recognized by the scientific world to a certain extent, there are other points of view, and the student has a right to know about them, and that's fine. Osipov: But scientists still fear that it is not so simple.
Combine scientific and non-scientific theory is not easy. After all, some of the parents and pupils can jealous of traditional science and deny the religious version, then again with such atheistic consumer sentiment educational product? In addition, religious version is quite heterogeneous, they are not only in traditional religions, for example, in the Mesopotamian myths man appeared from the blood of the gods, and clay, the Mayan corn cob.
Almost every nation has its own legend, like Vladimir Zorin, and should not drastically overload pupils such information. Zorin: It would be useful for the course of the origin of man is prepared, perhaps, or terminate any of the existing theories spetszanyatiem in this matter. Indeed, virtually every nation has its own mythology, how did the Earth, like any people, the Khanty, for example, duck, other peoples Caique something disasters, somewhere there is a dragon. Osipov: There are averaged theory, called creationism, where scientists are trying to combine the scientific and the religious version. There are also so-called parascientific views, telling about external intervention and extraterrestrial origin of life. How does all this fit in textbooks on history and biology and how this information will be logically coexist with what is written in the books, the question for many is controversial. But this is not the first attempt to oust Darwin.
Previously, there were several precedents when students tried to challenge in court the need to study the theory. True, these were isolated episodes and they ended with nothing. And now for the first time in law were talking about the inclusion in the curriculum of alternative versions of the origin of man.
True, we can not say that this is a fundamental issue for society. a leading expert at the Center for Current Politics Dmitry Abzalov draws attention to the fact that parents and students have more topics that concern them when they talk about education. Abzalov: So far, in a society that question was not raised, at least, was not discussed. Precedents, but there was a national debate. Parents in the blogging system or something else actively discussing this question, it does not apply to the masthead. Among the key issues of education - access, corrupt. Osipov: The discussion about how to teach children, have already appeared and warnings not to go to extremes.
After following the history and biology students may propose alternative versions of the origin of the universe. Currently existing physical models are also contrary to the religious version. The Big Bang, the formation of stars, planets and galaxies - who knows if there are any there alternative theories, and then present their children within a traditional course of study?
