30. you HAVE to check out the discussion topics
such as: Should Creationism/Intelligent design be taught as a scientific alternative to evolution in public schools?
http://www.conservapedia.com/Should_Creationism/Intelligent_design_be_taught_as_a_scientific_alternative_to_evolution_in_public_schools%3F

no...

1. Creationism is not scientific, and should only be studied in religious studies if we are to follow the Constitution.

2. If we're forced to teach alternative beliefs as ID and Creationism in science classes, the so-called Pastafarians would have the same right to teach their Flying Spaghetti Monster belief.

Our numerals are called Arabic numerals. Astronomy has a large ongoing list of Arabic names. They all stem from the time period spanning 800-1100 when Arabic culture where the center of the development of knowledge. However, in the 1100s, an Iman declared that mathematics is evil. Since then the Arabic intellectual culture has never recovered, only a couple of scientific Nobel prizes have been won by Arabs, compared to the much smaller ethnic group of Jews.

Does it really do any good if American children learn to dismiss natural science? Do we really want to fall behind Europe and the rest of the world?

REPLY
Creationism is not scientific? This is absolute nonsense. This is what evolutionists like to think, but it is the farthest thing from the truth. What can evolutionists bring up about creationism that is non-scientific? Also, what do you mean when you say that " should only be studied in religious studies if we are to follow the Constitution."? Where exactly does the Constitution deny this right?

wow. It's good to see some dissent on there, but... I doubt anyone will learn anything from it.
