[MLUG - DISCUSSION] Teaching of Creationism Is Endorsed in New Survey

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

People in this country are very accepting and very religious...

I've said before that I oppose teaching religion in science classes, but I 
don't think it's that big of a deal to include some "creationism" or 
whatever you want to call it.  Why?  Because it will get kids interested 
in the issue and it will cause discussions and arguments.  Debates on this 
topic would be good for the kids even though there is really no evidence 
to support the creation side against evolutionary theory.  In preparing 
for the debate, kids would have to read a lot about evolution, even if 
they were on the creation side.
