You think you can teach 'creation science' (an oxymoron) in a public school, even as an elective?

It is perfectly acceptable for any schools to present the creation mythologies of any religion in the proper setting, i.e. a social studies or history class. The problem is that the ID proponents (Wedge strategists) are grasping for legitimacy by trying to get public science classrooms to present their religiously-founded ideas as actual science.

If it's such a great idea, let every Christian private school (particularly fundamentalist schools, because I'm not sure how happy the Catholic schools would be with this) teach creation science in their classrooms as much as they want. I'm sure some of those schools can and will produce good science students who could go on to major in biology or physics in college and then pursue postgraduate work. Let's see how much impact this breed of scientists has on the evolutionary research field.

(Prediction: zilch.)

Agreed. Just don't call it science.
