Is it? I thougt it would be on the other foot.
No matter how loud their proponents yell, creationism and ID are mythology, religion, and philosophy. Evolution is science.
Oh bogus, it is only in your mind as it is an affront to what you hold to be true. While Science supports the theory of Evolution it is not a theory vetted out to perfection. there are a lot of unansewered questions that we have not even the capacity to compute or understand yet so quit making as if its a foregone conclusion. There may be a lot of eggs in your basket but few have hatched...or are you prepared to say with total certainty that the theory needs nothing more to explain?
The only reason I get involved is because I worry about our kids getting screwed up thinking that when you hit something you can't explain, you basically throw your hands up and say "magic did this." That is very real damage.
Oh yes, and all of us useful idiots could care less about our kids...about science and about the "real world"...right? My degree in Professional Aeronautics means I am just an idiot who now flys for the USAF by total luck and chance...right? How do I dare say to you, the higher form of intelligence, that I actually understand the arguments and come to a different conclusion? I share your worry about education of our kids, but I am not ready to berate you over it. My five children are getting more factual science than I ever did and we are hyper-involved with their education. What I fear in education more is an inept government minded union who has control over schools from ther top down and see it as a place where social engineering takes place and where all the liberal ideologies of the world are to be indoctrinated into unsuspecting minds who get more screwed up than well served.
No wonder we are losing so badly in worldwide academia.
And yet where does the world come for the best education?
Could you fly if you didn't understand how aerodynamics work? You of all people should know how important the underlying foundations are. Even a pilot of a small craft needs to understand physics.
Creationism in biology is the same as telling pilots that a plane flies because God holds it up.

Question: Let's say that out of religious faith one believes that airplanes stay aloft due to prayer and angels, and this should be taught in schools as a valid alternative to aeronautic engineering. The "wing and a prayer" theory. Would you propose that this be taught in engineering school on an equal basis?
