Which Creationism Legend? The Hebrew-Christian-Moslem version? The Hopi version? The Navajo version? The Chukchi version? The Yoruba version? The Scientologist version? Do all these get equal time?

Are these to be taught as part of a science class or a history class?

Would you object to teaching students that creation did in fact happen and the universe we live in is evidence of that? Would you object to teaching students that nothing absent a catalyst can not equal an EEU without a Supreme Being? If so, could you offer me another explantaion that doesn't violate the laws of physics. thermodynamicss and common sense as we know them?

When teaching cosmology, one most deal in the realities of the situation. It is not really science although science is part of it – it is history but the record is sketchy. The fact is we do not really know – all ideas must be presented (the creations myths, the Darwin myths) along with any and all supporting scientific and historic data – then let the students make up their own mind. The flaws in the theories must also be exposed. No scientific fact conclusion can be made therefore it should not be made.
