I have no problem with creationism, or intelligent design, or any other theory being in textbooks and curricula provided only that it EARN its way in there the same way any other theory has done or would be expected to do.

Kinda hard to "EARN" its way into textbooks when the evolutionists are writing the textbooks, and controlling the secular learning environment. It's the same problem that occurs when history is re-written by the liberals.. The liberals and their athiestic friend control most colleges and the majority of the secular media.

For a theory to be included in the science curricula, this means that it must FIRST earn standing in the market place of scientific ideas. It must prove its worth to working scientists such that they begin to test, implicate and employ the theory in their ongoing research. There is even an objective manner of determining if and when this has occured, since there is a professional literature in which scientists describe their research.

In the case of evolution, the theory is included because the vast majority of the scientific literature is controled by the evolutionists who so desparately want to believe their theory, regardless of the problems. . Do you seriously believe that if textbooks and secular journals were contolled by folks like Vade, PH, or Aric2000, then the Creation argument would get a fair shake? Don't think so...

You've got to do the one thing creationists have never successfully done, and very, very seldom even try to do. (Because they can't. Duh!) You have to put together a coherent theory or body of theory, build a scientific research program around it, and produce some results.

There is a coherent theory and scientific research organizations like ICR. That evolutionists openly hold these organizations in distain, clearly shows the problems with your argument.

If you do that -- if scientists are actually using a theory -- it will eventually be included in curricula as a matter of course.

Not if evolutionists and secular media control the field of play...

Poor baby! Christians don't own any printing presses, don't have any schools or colleges, and can't afford to do any basic research. That must be why they can't spell atheist.

Of all the excuses for lack of ideas this is the lamest. Even without money, you could at least propose a course of research and outline what you would hope to find.
