creationism in it's modern form ("intelligent design") isn't about faith, it's about politics, which is why it's ridiculous compared to the scientific answer in this case BTW I personally believe in the flying spaghetti monster, because I feel the world is more delicious than most people think. |
Everything else up about politics when you force people to live together, and pool resources. In the case of creationism, you have religious parents who want to raise their kids certain ways, and are forced into the public school system and have their kids taught, for financial reasons. If you were to get those kids out of the public school system, then you wouldn't see creationism brought in. Of course, when this is mentioned as an option, the kids of religious parents suddenly become wards of the state in the minds of some people, who then insist that ALL kids must be taught this and that in society. Yes, there are people who want to know God did it, and want evidence to support this belief. I guess someone who is a secular and collectivist would then feel insistent there needs to be a war won, and we get rid of all this "fairy tales".
So, don't let people go off and do their own thing, expect them to subject you to things that violate your own sensibilities.
