[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you're missing the whole point about the intelligent design, creationism debate.  It's not that teachers are trying to "brainwash" kids into believing creationism (although it wouldn't surprise me), it's that creationism, or intelligent design, or god-moved evolution, or whatever you want to call it is on an equal footing with evolution in a SCIENCE class.  It's not science - at all.   You have a science backround, so you can see that, right?  So teaching creationism in a science class gives it a false legitimacy as an accepted scientific theory - you yourself referred to it that way.  But it isn't.  It's religion.  And teaching one religion in public schools is supposed to be a big no-no in this country - but since it's a "Christian nation," it's OK?  No, it isn't.

The fact that it's taught in schools IS a burning issue, and the fact that it's accepted as commonplace, even by "liberals" is an even bigger problem.  [/quote]

Exactly.  There is no reason to refer to it at all.  It is not science, any more than e.g. the virgin birth or the giving of the Ten Commandments is.[/quote]
