“I would note that you have an ally in your fight against Evil Science, however: Islamic Creationists!” [excerpt]You really should know better than to play that card.
Agreed.
But in typical evo fashion, they turn the debate from the topic of the thread to Christian and creationist bashing and comparing them to islamists is just part and parcel of it. What I find most telling is that evos will NEVER criticize the actions of other evos or scientists.
In this case, the textbook publishers made a clear dig at creationism.
For all the howling and whining about how science textbooks shouldn't be teaching creation alongside evolution because creation isn't science, evos (for the most part) are strangely silent about the textbook teaching about creation like this.
If it's not acceptable to teach about creation by simply presenting it as an alternative belief of some, it's not acceptable to teach against it by labeling it a myth since that determination is clearly outside the realm of what science can address, by scientists own insistence.
