"Creationism" does NOT BELONG IN A SCIENCE CLASS!

[MacDorcha]

Ah, and evolution does?

The term "creationism" here is used to refer to IDers. IDers don't hold that the world was made in 6 days. They also don't denounce that biology and adapting played some roll.

So what, exactly, is your beef?

Or were you over-reacting a bit?

"Creationism" does NOT BELONG IN A SCIENCE CLASS!

---

Absolutely correct. Creationsim does not belong in a science class and the reason has nothing to do with whether it is true, false or whatever. Creationism does not belong because it is not a scientific theory. Various theories of evolution on the other hand can be used to make predictions whose correctness can be tested via experiments and thus is a topic that should be covered in a science class.

This isn't a science class, this is a university environment! Evolution is the unifying theory of biology and to pull it out of college does a serious, serious disservice to all of us. If you don't understand evolution, you can't do modern biology. Couple this with the Shaivo case, and I will never, ever support another conservative as long as I live. These fools will destroy our scientific advancement and put us in the dark ages by labeling superstition and mythology a scientific enterprise. What these politicians are doing to evolution, they are doing to all of science. The again, to some of these people, it is better to be saved and go to heaven dumb and ignorant than to actually have an education that can have a positive impact on the human race.

Ah, yes, it doesn't belong because it isn't your religious belief; but, because evolution is your religious belief, that belongs. Right. Next...
