McCain's New Science Advisor... Creationist kook Palin
In a 2006 debate on KAKM Channel 7 in Alaska – Palin suggested teaching creationism alongside evolution in Alaska's state
public schools. “Teach both. You know, don’t be afraid of information.”

So there it is... religion , science, what-EVER!

6. That's what I always think. Why is one creation myth worthy to be taught in schools
Edited on Sat Aug-30-08 02:46 PM by Herdin_Cats
when every culture in the world has has a different one?

I say fine, teach those myths. As mythology. With no preference shown the Judeo-Christian myth.
