Are you driving at the point that, in order to open the classroom to creationist considerations we must necessarily open the classroom to every single religious view on the matter?

Well done. That's exactly what I'd propose. Of course, who knows how many African creation myths there are in addition to the hundreds of others. The important thing is this: Whether a scientist be Buddhist, Christian, Hindi, Inuit, Incan or Moslem, they still agree on the universality of evolution. Their religious ideas are kept at home and at the church/temple/mosque/fire ring. And so it should be!

How much of the human body, for example, is made of water?

While my point wasn't to show that any other creation myth is somehow "better" than christianity's, since you asked the question, and since I'm not sure if you're being rhetorical, water makes up the vast majority of our body mass.

". . . and since I'm not sure if you're being rhetorical, water makes up the vast majority of our body mass.

You may think it to be rhetorical for me to bring this up. I don't know. But this would be an axample of an ancient writing corroborating a scientific fact that is not seen by the human eye. Now, with "cooincidence" being the trump card of evolutionism, there really is nothing in all of existence that cannot be explained away, is there?

I mean, one could argue that ancient writings ascribing "water" as the larger part of the human makeup were simply spun from a superstitious imagination and just happened to be on the mark this time. Right?

Would it be inappropriate for science to predict, based on this writing, that the human body would be found to be comprised mostly of water?

Anyway, I'm beginning to like this evolution stuff more all the time. Can't think of a single notion I cannot make up or excuse at will and without accountability. Can just brush certain facts aside as cooincidence.
