Re: On teaching creationism in science class
Creation sciences should be taught that include, biology, genetics, natural selection, mutations, natural sciences, geology, soil science, math, computers, mechanical engineering but just omit any reference to an old earth stuff because saying its an old earth without refuting Gentry is proof that evolution is not grounded in science but grounded in myth! Myths might well make you feel good but thats not science either refute Gentry or take all references of an old earth out of the sciences, science is not a feel good game but about teaching our children the truth!!!!!!!
There is no such thing as creation sciences. Where is the evidence for such. Where is the experimentation. Creation science is not science, it cannot be falsified, it is based on belief(faith) not on evidence.
if they can not publicly refute Gentry's Primordial polonium halos.
try the following url
"Polonium Haloes" Refuted

Re: On teaching creationism in science class
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.
When people are alowed to make their own decisions based on evidence then enlightenment occurs. It can be stifled by indoctrination at a level of learning when it it is easy to control what the learner is learning. Most of the religious have been indoctrinated from early childhood long before they will learn about evolution.

Philosophy should be taught in science, because science is a methodology on the back of 'philosophy of science'. I am only proposing, however, a brief history of ideas on the subject at hand.
People used to believe x because of a.
Then they changed that to y because of b.
Science has shown that x and y are problematic and that z is a better explanation because of c, d, e and f (whilst also consistent with a and b)
Fine. So which of the thousand or so creation myths becomes X.
