Re: Teaching lies creation "science"
Enlightenment Happened
And before Darwin was taught in public schools
Science Happened
I was in the transitional period in public schools. I personally hated being forced to accept without question the "scientific" theory of evolution. If Dawkin wants to discuss child abuse, let him address the common practice of allowing children to belittle class members with epitaphs like "neanderthal." When the theory was first taught, I saw boys in tears, in an era when men didn't cry..because the teacher was preaching and enforcing (by belittling any other opinions expressed, refusing questions or by lowering grades of the heretics who dared question) the belief that their ancestors, their ggGrandmothers were apes or mated with apes. A man did not have the right to decide for himself how he was created or by whom..
Creationism was not being taught..because of separation of Church and State..
Before the schools were forced into teaching evolution, Science was a presentation of Facts.."This is a skeleton found at such and such a site, carbon dating suggests it may be X old"..Next Fact without the cramming any theory or explanation down the child's throat.
Evolution is a religion..not a science. The Christian story of Creation was not stressed because it is not the point of Christianity.
The new insult for people who question evolution is "stupid" or "creationist" now that the Ape, Neanderthal, is not an ancestor and Dawkins openly teaches that this is proper behavior.
I don't believe in evolution because I have studied it..not because I am creationist

Re: On teaching creationism in science class
The Enlightenment:
The Enlightenment is the Freedom of Conscience. That means the freedom of speech and free exchange of ideas including the right to question and reject any system of belief, including Darwinism and evolution, is an Inalienable Right.
Madison proposed that if Man were free to learn, to discuss, to research without interference from any organized group of proseletizers..that most men would volutarily choose Christianity.
He was right..Americans believe in God, 91% without teaching religion in the class room.
Darwinism was Enforced into the class room by the Courts because people were not "learning" the theory but even now, with the absence of Christianity in the classroom, forced teaching of Evolution the battering of Heretics who refuse to "believe" with epitaphs like "neanderthal" ..Chistians still comprise some 91% of the population and 78% of Americans reject Darwinism in whole or part ..
According to the ideas of the Enlightenment..that Men will choose Truth for themselves..will seek it out and embrace truth on their own without any interference from anyone..especially the State..Darwinism and Evolution seem to have some credibility problems that browbeating and belittling school children are not going to solve.
It may be that Darwinism and evolution has serious credibility problems not related to Christianity..
I reject it because I have studied it and it isn't true..and it smells of racism..
