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.
I have not seen or heard any suggestions that various creation stories be taught in science classes, if that is what you mean.
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."
Nope. The biblical text is not the product of an individual who can claim it as his own. It is absolutely a better account of creation than any other one spun out of individual imagination and experience. There is no better text for understanding where the world and mankind came from, and where it is headed.
Cultures that place confidence is tales spun out of the imagination would be grateful to receive and ponder the biblical text, as it is more accurate, more detailed, more helpful, and more reliable than any other text. And so it happens. Wherever the biblical text is read and pondered, a clearer picture of the grand scheme of things is evident to all but the most willfully deceived of people.

There may be a few people who want to bring creationism into the science class, but they are no more justified in doing so than evolutionists who bring evolution into science class. As it stands, I think you are overly paranoid, thinking a wider agenda than exists under the circumstances.
Do you think that evolutionary theory is just another creation "story"?
A long time ago there was a hot soup on the earth. One magical day some of the dirt in the soup became alive! It grew and grew and grew until one day it turned into a fish! Then it turned into a dinosaur! Then it turned into a bird! Then it turned into a monkey! Then it turned into a man! Man was too stupid for a long time to know where he came from. Then one day a great man took a voyage on a ship and came to an island. On the island were many different animals. The man imagined how these animals could have come to be and wrote a book. Others read his book and said "How wonderful this book is! Let us teach it in our schools to our children. And that, my children, is how we came to be.
