Where does belief enter into it? A course like this goes over the best information we have regarding these subjects. Just precisely what is your problem with this? Do you want a class that is supposed to study comparisons to confine itself to only one sample? And, BTW, don't waste any more effort on my personal religion. It's not what you seem to think it is and it's none of your business.

Unfortunately, when you start out with teaching lies, your whole course is tainted. You mentioned that this course is taught with 'the best information we have regarding these subjects'. What you are teaching is man's best guess theories on these subjects. That does not make it true, just because these men may have many degrees behind them. These 'brilliant minds' are set out with a particular agenda in mind, and that is to teach the creation story cannot be correct, and their theory is the one to be believe. The truth be damned, it is more important to spread a lie, than that the creation story be shown to be the truth. And anyone presenting these theories as examples as to leading one to the truth of our creation, apart from what is taught in the Bible, is misguiding many students.

[From many - one.]

You have drawn conclusions that go way beyond the evidence provided: the University is/was considering giving a class called something like Intelligent Design, Creationism and other Religious Mythologies.

You apparently don't like Creationism being included as a mythology.

The problem is which version of what I prefer to call Biblical literalism is the one you consider to be unassailable truth. There are quite a number, you know.
