Subject: RE: BS: Young Earth Creationism
Little Hawk, saying that I don't want Creationism taught in science classes is not the same as saying I think I know everything. Two things I do know, however, is that Creationism isn't science and that religious instruction doesn't belong in public schools. Are you seriously suggesting that we teach something so ignorant and illogical as Creationism as if it were serious?

Creationists can believe any damn fool thing they want, but when they force it into our classrooms they cross the line into forcing their beliefs on others, and expecting me to pay for it. Fortunately, we in the U.S. have something called separation of church and state, even though it isn't always enforced. Save Creationism for philosophy or history classes, and teach it as an example of ignorance run amok and of logical fallacy.

And please, don't anyone start on me about enforcing my "scientific beliefs" on others, unless you want me to explain in great detail how ignorant and illogical you are.
