[Just out of curiosity, what would the curriculum in a Creation Science class consist of?]

If you haven't got a clue, you are ignorant of the opposition's position.

I guess you don't know eiter then, or else surely you would have answered the question. Feel free to take a stab at it -- note that the word "science" is included in the question, so tailor your answer appropriately.

Subject-changing questions are a poor substitute for homework.

...so says the guy who repeatedly tried to derail an evolution thread by insisting that everyone answer his "why is there matter" tangent.

In this particular case, however, that question is hardly a change of subject, it's right on target. If creationists are going to whine about the alleged motives of people who don't think they deserve "equal time", they need to demonstrate that they have something worth being presented in science classes -- or else all their accusations about motives is just an attempt to distract attention from the *real* reason, which is that they've got nothing worth serious consideration.

Evolution is creative biological sociology (( ideology )) and it should be taught under anthropology (( pre history -- writing -- science )) ...

or maybe speculative geography // WHACK religions or political UFO science ===

arts // humanity // CRAFTS ... THEATRE === drama !

You are mistaken again. Not all ignorant questions deserve an answer. Note I did not answer all of your questions. Some questions are designed only to detract from the issue at hand, as is yours. If the issue is painful, change the subject.

I'm not sure I should attempt an answer to your question because any attempt at an answer casts a shadow on your education. Although I don't intend to belittle your intelligence let me say that any discipline except evolution lays out a path of understanding that includes opposing theories.

Therefore the first step in developing a systematic approach to any subject is defining terms.

The second step is summarizing opposing theories.

The third step is showing the weaknesses of the opposing theories.

The fourth step is to show why your position is superior.

Now that I've helped you understand the solution to the problem, feel free to apologize for the accusation. Feel free also to implement this approach in the public schools. Wait--- maybe that's why you asked?
