More fuel to the Psychoreligionology fire

You know what. I think we should teach Creationism and Intelligent Design along with evolutionary theory. We should present the evidence for all three and let students decide which makes most sense.

There is a problem in the way we teach science to kids. They don't realize the incredible amount of evidence that needs to be gathered before a scientific theory is accepted. They don't realize the incredible scrutiny that a theory needs to undergo before it becomes as well established as evolution.

If we taught all three, many people would realize what complete nonsense creationism is and would eventually realize that everthing in the bible was complete nonsense. That would only make the world a better place in my opinion.

Fine, but teach that crap where it belongs, in religion classes.

Teaching anything but science in science classes is preposterous and obviously partisan and driven by highly disreputable goals. It's a hijacking of the curriculum, and a kidnapping of people of all religions so that they can be forcibly indoctrinated by the religions of only some -- upon pain of failing the class.

I have nothing against religion classes -- there probably should be some, so all the believers lighten up a little. But pretending one particular religion is actually science an then shoving it down the throats of people with different religions while pretending to "educating" them is reprehensible and utterly selfish.

See how nice religion is? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
