My HUGE problem with creationist thinking (re: Which version of creationism)

Oh, really? Do you also have a problem when they teach gravity as fact to you? Did they mislead you when they taught gravity as fact and was this also a misleading representation of the status quo?

I think that you are deliberately misleading the readers here when you state that. No real scientist has ever stated that Ardi was human. Could you provide a link to any scientists that’s ever described Ardi as human?What scientists have stated is that they think that Ardi is a recent human relative.

Goddidit is not a model. So, your proposal is basically that if any crackpot claims that the earth is flat, it should also be considered people in the street?I don’t think you realize that scientific facts are not decided by people in the streets, but by scientists following the scientific method.You know, what is accepted as a fact is that 1 plus 1 equals 2. If some crackpot decides that 1 plus 1 equals 3, it won’t be discussed as maths in any maths classroom, but will just be laughed off. You propose that this crackpot should be given equal time in maths classrooms with the findings of real mathematicians who know what they are doing.Then you also propose that another crackpot who decides that 1 plus 1 equals 4 should also be given equal time, so that the community can choose individually for themselves what the answer is.People go to school to get educated in the real world, not to decide which crackpot is ‘right’.In biology, the theory of evolution is accepted as a scientific fact. Just like 1 plus 1 equals 2 is accepted as a fact in maths. Anyone who differs from facts, can only be a crackpot. No need to consider the rantings of crazy people.
