That's funny guys... I distinctly remmeber learning about Muslim and Hindu in my 7th grade history class.... And I sat wondering... "Why can they teach about this shit and evolution... but not creationalism?"

The question is, did they teach you that Islam was true? Did they teach you that you should obey the vedas, and explain what each hindu god is contributing to the world? Then why should they teach creationism?


They taught what they believed...

Did they teach you that the beliefs of Hindus and Muslims were a scientific theory with supposedly (and shaky) evidence based reasoning? No? Exactly why Creationism has no place in a SCIENCE lesson. Thats the main argument. Teach it all you want in Religious Studies, but keep non-science out of the lab/science classroom.

Even science in general (or the belief in evolution and the "BIG BANG THEORY") is just a bunch of shaky and unproven evidence based reasoning....

Science in general? Are you being sarcastic? We're talking about the same science that allows us to fly around the world in mere hours. The same science that ensures we have drugs and anti-biotics for what were some of the most devestating diseases? The same science that gives us the computers and consoles we use to play the games that most of us write about on these forums? By shaky and unproven you mean that its assumed correct until disproven? This means that unlike religious viewpoints its always open to new evidence.

Sorry I mostly meant the science of evolution, creation, things which cannot be proven.  I did not mean to imply things such as basic science, biology, things which are tangible and can be proven.
