I don't think you are being rude. You make a very good point. That really
is my point. Bring creationism into a basic science class. Discuss what
scientific theory is, and let creationists bring an argument forth. I think
we know what the results will be.
BTW, I'm an atheist, and I never said it would be a long course

Gallup just came out with a new poll, 46 percent of all Americans believe
in the creationist view that God created humans.
Kind of startling and that stat actually has gone up since Gallup asked
the same thing back in '82.

In U.S., 46% Hold Creationist View of Human Origins

Teach creationism in schools as part of an intro course on life science.
A course kind of like this, just add no. 8 creationism

Dude, you've been on this and other threads refusing to answer specific questions pertaining directly to the thread and ignoring all evidence disproving the nonsense you assert. You're a troll.

When you (a closet creationist) or any other "believer" provides evidence of a supernatural jesus existing, I'll ammend my statement. Until then, he's a character in an old book and you're just trolling.

I answer all questions pertaining to the topic of those threads - you have me confused with HistorianDude who was asked a question TEN times and has yet to answer it. I on the other hand answered his question - but he didn't like the answer - so he spreads lies saying that I didn't answer him.

I have been consistent with my opinion concerning teaching creationism and evolution - NEITHER should taught in public schools.

Since teaching creationism isn't even an issue in my opinion - it is up to you to defend the teaching of evolution - not to deflect onto something for which I don't even advocate.

How about we just keep fiction out of science classes. Kids already get a limited amount of science education, it shouldn't be wasted debating superstition.

I agree - you don't(even with yourself!) - since you want to teach evolution.

You've been consistent in ignoring evidence in regards to evolution. You continue to claim it to be a myth..I told you, I know you're game. You want both out of the classroom because you can't defend what you really believe in, creationism. Sorry, homie, you can try and play the "middle" all day but your front is obvious. Evolution is science and creationism is myth. The two are not the same and shouldn't be treated as such.

Your trolling is played out but if you insist on continuing to make yourself look like a fool, then continue.

You are the one looking like a fool - you say that you don't want fiction and superstition to be taught and then contradict yourself - all in one post!

Is that a yawning infant?

What are you saying - that you are tired - and a baby?

Ooooo...K.
