No. I have no problem with the dozens of creation myths nd stories being introduced and discussed in history, philosophy, theology or comparitive religion classes, but not in science classes.

Except for the minor little detail that everyone is aware of that there is no way that something like that is going to fly in the public schools. It isn't happening now and it's not going to happen in the future.

You evos have it in your minds that creationists are stupid and think that they won't see that they are being handed a worthless scrap with that proposal.

You're proposing taking everything and offering what amounts to nothing thinking that they'll be duped into being satisfied with it.

Not going to happen.

Control of the public schools belongs in the hands of the parents and local school boards, not the federal government.

IF they see fit to allow the teaching of creation and ID in addition to evolution, that's their business. It's their kids and their money.

Advocating for big government control of education is a liberal position and it is currently ruining education.

If evos don't like the thought of their kids hearing about creation and ID, they can have their children opt out of that portion of the lesson instead of suing all opposition into oblivion under the guise of *science*.

If that's not acceptable, they can homeschool or start their own private God-free schools and send their kids there at their own expense.

That's the option that evos always throw up in the faces of creationists who object to evolution only being taught, and if it's good enough for creationists, it's good enough for evos.

I have yet to have one evo provide me with one iota of evidence that teaching creation and ID in addition to, or even (as past history demonstrates) instead of evolution. There is simply NO evidence that it would hurt science education in this country.

It's rather amusing that evos, who appeal to the virtual MOUNTAINS of evidence in support of the ToE, totally ignore the evidence demonstrating that teaching creation and ID will not harm science education and still advocate for evolution only in the public schools.

Why do evos consider evidence important, even critical when it suits them, and ignore it when it's inconvenient?

The fact that creation/I.D. is not science would preclude it from being taught in a science class.

Unless you also want Alchemy, and Astrology included in the science curriculum

"You evos have it in your minds that creationists are stupid and think that they won't see that they are being handed a worthless scrap with that proposal."

Since you are in the irrational lash-out mode I doubt that any of the following will get through to you (it didn't the last umpteen times I posted it);

1) I am a devout Catholic. I believe that God created the entire universe and everything in it.

2) I believe that, as eloquently stated by Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) that science and theology are compatible and that the bible tells us THAT God created the universe, it does not seek to tell us HOW.

3) God used all of the science He created in the process of creation including using evolution and natural selection in the process of introducing life into the dynamic universe He created.

4) I believe that man is different from the rest of the animals kingdom because we have souls.

5) I am a life long conservative Republican who did not vote for Nixon's reelection because he was too liberal.

6) I educated my children in parochial schools because I do not agree with the curriculum of the public schools. I am not content to simply bitch about what was being taught to my children. If you have a problem with what is being taught keep your kids out and take it up with your dumbass neighbors who continue to elect the liberal school board, local, state, and federal officials.

7) If you believe it is OK to teach Christian creation in schools if a majority of the people in a district happen to be Christian then you shouldn't be surprised when something else is taught when a majority believe differently (such as secularism, Hinduism, Islam, atheism, etc.)

8) It is just plain stupid or ignorant to categorically refer to a group called "evo's" as some sort of homogeneous conspiracy.
