Bill Nye the Science Guy asks parents not to raise creationist kids (Obama, states)

[Frugality]

I wonder if he will get attacked and called a socialist. I see his point and understand his frustration. Why is this even an issue up for debate. Doesn't seem to happen in other industrialized nations.

"Denial of evolution is unique to the United States.

And I say to the grownups if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, in your world that's completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that's fine, but don't make your kids do it because we need them. "

Heaven forbid a person with intelligence should decry the teaching of religious superstitions parading as fact.

There have been a number of times in this world when religious beliefs have held back human progress.

Well, if creationists are wrong, theyre wrong. If you're wrong, well you just might have hell to pay.

You missed Bill Nye's point. He stated that creationists are doing a disservice to their kids and our country when they raise them to be creationist. So it isn't a matter of, oh well, they are just wrong. There are consequenceces.

There are and this issue may come back and hurt us at some point in something more relevant to the people that taught creationism, such as jobs and innovation.

I think they should teach in science classes that evolution is our best theory, and they should teach Creationism in religious studies classes as being what Jews, Christians and Muslims believe. It's that simple.
