Quote by: Mia I don't see what the big deal about presenting both theories side-by-side, with the scientific date for and and against on each laid out. |
But creationism isn't a theory and there is no scientific evidence that supports it. In fact, the Supreme Court has found that Creationism is religiously motivated and is not science. Creationism can and is presented in public schools in appropriate classes, like comparative religion and mythology courses.

Quote by: Mia Parents can weigh in on what they'd like to guide thier children to believe. |

Quote by: Mia It certainly would not be promoting any religion, IMO. |
According to the Supreme Court, it would be promoting, not only religion, but a particular religious view. You cannot use the schools to force other students to be taught your religion by pretending that it is science.
