This is an extraordinarily important point, because outside the question of what we teach in public school science classes, this whole debate is (imho) over nothing more than each of our personal opinions. And everyone is entitled to their opinions, right, wrong or indifferent.
I've said many times here, that if you want to teach Creationism or Intelligent Design, or Young Earthism, in your home school, or your religious school, or your private school, that is no one's business but yours and the school's. It falls under the Constitutional protection of the free exercise of religion.
It's only in the public schools where the Constitutional restriction on "establishment" of religion comes into effect.
In short, you can teach your own kids whatever you wish, but you can't teach my kids your religion in the public schools.
Schaef21, if we agree on that much, then the rest of this discussion is a very friendly debate, imho. ;-)

Do I take that to mean that I’m no longer considered a liar?
