Creationist/ID Education should be allowed

Well, there is the minor logical impossibility of teaching about speciation without teaching about the origin of species.

Yeah, I wanted to say pretty much what PaulK said. If you just want to use this as an argument against evolution, then it's a bit of special pleading. If, on the other hand, we are going to use your argument generally:* Then we can't teach anything in biology, because all facts in biology are historically contingent on the origin of life.
* We couldn't teach any chemistry, 'cos we don't know the origin of chemical elements (of course, scientists think that they do, but a creationist such as yourself will dismiss their opinion as "fanciful", since it conflicts with your dogma).
* We can't teach the theory of gravity unless we know the origin of mass.
* We can't teach about electricity unless we know the origin of electrons.
* We can't teach languages until we know the origins of language.
* We can't teach history unless we know the origins of humanity.
* We can't teach geology unless we know the origin of the Earth.
* We can't teach astronomy unless we know the origin of stars.
* We can't teach the germ theory of disease unless we know the origins of germs.If we can't teach anything until we have an origins story for it that creationists can agree with, then we cannot, in fact, teach pretty much anything, and civilization would collapse within a generation. But I don't hear you making any such general objection. I don't hear anyone doing so. When your child is taught how stars burn through nuclear fusion, do you actually object to this because (a) God doesn't come into it (b) you don't consider the scientific account of the origin of stars to be plausible?

Because those are purely human creations? Well, in the first place many Christian apologists don't believe that (see my debate with sac) but in the second place even if they were, who invented counting, eh? You don't know. We have no origin story for mathematics.

And then we have this thing called quantum electrodynamics, which can predict the behavior of electrons to ten decimal places.Or we can listen to "creation scientists" telling us that: "Some scientists think that the sun may be the source of most electricity".

Has it occurred to you that maybe that's all there is?I have a theory that all pigs are wingless. If I only ever present evidence in favor of this theory, that's not because I'm "filtering" all the winged pigs. The absence of evidence against my theory is not actually a mark of "pathological science", it's a sign that I'm, y'know, right. No, this is something you made up. Doesn't it strike even you as strange that you wrote that immediately following a paragraph devoted to angrily accusing scientists of changing their minds?You can't have it both ways. Are scientists evil because (a) they hold up their conclusions as undebatable truth or (b) because they are willing to revise their opinions? No, this is something you made up.

Oh look, someone making sweeping and extraordinary claims without offering a shred of evidence to back them up is lecturing us on the scientific method. Oh, and complaining about "arrogance" while he does it.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.
