rogerw1, thanks for the text reference, but you didn't give any specific passages. The description that you culled from Amazon doesn't mention anything about creationism in general or Genesis in specific. Amazon has yet to put up any text from the book for me to search inside it.

The book appears to be a collection of articles. One of them happens to be "Evolution as Fact and Theory" by Gould from
which I happen to have a copy of. The article does give creationism a hard time, but it doesn't mention anything about Genesis. It does, however, talk about an extremely important area of science: Just what is a theory, what is a fact, and why is evolution both a theory and a fact? Creationism simply isn't scientific. This doesn't mean there is no god.
Are you saying that a course in biological evolution shouldn't talk about why evolution is a fact? A case might be made about how one goes about talking about how evolution is a fact, but should we not mention the truth of the matter that evolution is, indeed, a fact?
. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.
