Creationism has always been a helpless move in my eyes. People are not satisfied and ignorant about things that cannot be explained, and they can only weave a whole system to make up for it. In modern society, people find that system cannot explain everything, so there is fundamentalism: the Bible is unverifiable and unquestionable. Isn't this another kind of oppression? In 1925, Scopes, a middle school teacher in Detton City, Tennessee, taught Darwin's theory of evolution to his students, and he was accused by fundamentalist church members. Fundamentalists forced a court to convict Scopes of violating state laws, and Scopes was forced to leave school.
The development of modern science has explained many things that could not be explained before, but there are still things that cannot be explained. Is it too lazy to throw the problem to God at this time?
The so-called freedom of research, I think the government's concern is definitely not that the research of creationism has reached the point of overthrowing the theory of evolution. Maybe it is to save time for scholars, maybe it is to kill chickens and monkeys with harsh means, maybe it is to not incite the general public with less discerning ability. The merging of a country with so much science and a country with so much Christianity really makes it difficult for academia and government.
