Creationists


For those who are still trying to weasle their theology into the science class, I have a few questions that no Creationist has dared to answer so far:

What type of Creationism should we teach? All of them? Shall we teach Young Earth Creationism, Old Earth Creationism, Gap Creationism, Day-Age Creationism, Progressive Creationism, Intelligent Design Creationism, Evolutionary Creationism, and Theistic Creationism?

I'll assume that you want the science teacher to also include lessons on the Slain Monster story from Sumeria-Babylonia, the Primordial Parents story from the Cook Islanders and the Egyptians, the Cosmic Egg story from Japan, Samoa, Persia, and China, the Spoken Edict story from the Mayans, and the Sea Creation stories from the Burmese, Choctaw Indians, and the Icelanders.

After all, by using the phrase "equal time", you really mean "equal time", right? You weren't being dishonest, were you?

When do you suppose the science teacher will have time to actually teach some science in science class?

Scientific theories aren't accepted in the scientific community via whining or political lobbying. By not being able or willing to grasp this, you demonstrate why you have no business whatsoever in discussing what is taught in a science class in the first place, so show some dignity, if not honesty, and come back when you at least get the basics.
