What we have here are competing creation stories. Should we not teach alternate creation stories in the interest fairness?

I have not seen or heard any suggestions that various creation stories be taught in science classes, if that is what you mean. You prefer to dredge that straw man up on a regular basis, and it simply isn't working. As far as creation accounts go, the biblical text outstrips them all both in terms of origin and content. Evolutionism has only imagination and experience to guide it as well, and thus it, too, does not belong in science classes.

This sounds like a case of "My creation story is better than yours!"

As for the "straw men" which I dredge up on a regular basis? I am simply sharing other people's creation stories. So far no one has pointed out to me where they are incorrect, except in relation to other creation stories.

These threads are here only because some people propose to teach bible creationism in science classes in place of, or as a part of, evolutionary studies; they attack evolution as a means toward that end.

I am simply pointing out that there are various creation stories. The usual responses to my posts may be paraphrased as "my creation story is better than your creation story."

How do you know? I bet there's some pretty good creation theories out there! Personally, I think Shiva, Vishnu and Kali are much more entertaining than the Father, Son and Holy Ghost!
