[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering that something like 45% of American's believe in creationism (including my DH's entire extended family including his ex-wife and therefore my stepson), I personally take a more "we have to respect all beliefs" attitude. Even if I don't see any merit in creationism.  But that is what I need to do, to keep the peace.  [/quote]
I think it's pretty well established that there are many stupid people in this country. Just because a minority believe something that is factually incorrect doesn't mean that belief has to be respected.[/quote]

There have been lots of things in history that are "factually incorrect" and have either been proven wrong, doubts raised or it's been inconsequential.  Remember that OJ got away with murder because the jury ignored the scientific, proven, factual evidence.  And yes, we once believed the earth to be flat.  Columbus didn't discover America.  Some other interesting "facts" some spoken by true scientists:
"Everything that can be invented – has already been invented" (1899 Commissioner of the Patent Office). 
"There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom," ... Robert Milken, Nobel Prize winner in physics, 1923
"Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible," ... Lord Kelvin, President Royal Society, 1895
