I do not want creationism taught in public school.

I do not support it either. NOTHING should be taught in public school.

Gotta weigh in on this.

1) No matter how you cut it, something cannot come out of nothing. The evolutionists who claim that there was nothing there, and then suddenly there was, are either a few blades short of a propellor or insane. The thing that was made cannot be a part of its own making. It is logically impossible.

2) The whole evolution research (if you'll permit a horselaugh at this point) is working backwards, kind of like detectives trying to find out how someone was murdered. Problem is, there is so much sloppiness on dates, how long something might take, and whatnot, that exactness is impossible. Moreover, evolution cannot stand up to the scientific method because it is *not* repeatable.

3) Any attempt that Arric2000 might say about diversity within the scientific community is a fraud. There are a lot of theories out there from well-esablished people who are shunned because the theories don't fit the norm. One guy, for example, makes a great case for the core of the earth being a nuclear pile about 5-8 miles in diameter, but the *new* textbook on earth science I've seen ignores this fact, even though the theories been around for years. Open minds? Don't hold your breath, pal.

In a book "Bones of Contention," it is stated (and not disproved by anyone I've read critiquing it) that the skulls, etc., that the scientists "study" are actually resin casts of the original. The bone evidence is scant, and when set against other evidence, shows that any kind of "evolution" was not progressive, and that there were different kinds of alleged ancestors living in the same locale at the same time. Yet we're supposed to sit back and let our kids be subjected to such unscientific drivel? I think not.

The public schools need to expose kids to both sides of the issue. There are too many holes in the theory of evolution to present it as a law (like the law of gravity, which is repeatable) or a fact (like chickens lay eggs). Who knows? Maybe our kids might come out of schools actually able to look at an issue and think about it.

One more thing. Given the millions of steps for evolution to occur, I submit this Triple Dog Dare to Arrac2000 (or whatever the name is) and to other proponents of evolution: Get a tupperware bowl and lid, or a butter tub, or something with a lid. Take apart a Lego minifig (head, torso, legs)and put pieces in bowl. Cover with lid and shake. Check every 5 seconds. Let me know when the parts come together to "evolve" into a fully-made, fully-functional minifig. I won't hold my breath.
