"2450 posts and you ask what the big deal is?!"

I'm sure we could go another 2450 posts and not have it figured out. Does this bother you? What does the number of posts devoted to the subject have to do with the validity of either side's arguments?

"For those theists who accept the fact of evolution . . . But for those who can't . . . "

The world is full of both kinds, and both have contributed great things to science. Is it proper in a constitutional democracy to deny one party either hearing or say in tax funded public schools? Neither can sufficiently prove or disprove their own views, and in my view, neither is particularly well suited to domination or total exclusion.

Unless evolutionists want to be so dumb as to say creationism does not exist, they ought to be willing to give it equal time in the classroom. As a firm believer in creationism myself, I would be doing a disservice to my children if I did not expose them to the teachings of evolution.

In short, the closed-mindedness of of evolutionist politics is astonishing in view of the fact it is they who claim to be "scientific."

As has been shown, we "dumb evolutionists" can't prove something doesn't exist, but I can state that in all liklihood, creationism doesn't exist. But lets pretend your idea takes hold and schools are required to teach creationism... Aside from the obvious (which has been asked of you several times) question of which creation myth to teach, what the hell would you even teach? I mean, "Christian God created everything" leaves lots of classroom time. Even after all the other myths are put forth, I'd figure the kids would still have 179.5 days to study science. (Leaving out the little tidbit about religion being taught in public schools, etc).

Thank you for advocating that Scientologists version of creation deserves equal time with the Christian version. Ditto for the Hindu, Yoruba, Shinto, Shiite, Ossetian, and Parsee versions.
