Evolution is the only scientific explanation out there currently in use among biologists that explains the response of a population to selective pressure and the diversity of life. If you are not going to teach evolution through natural selection of genetic variation, what “actual science” on the subject ARE you going to teach?

Creation Science, of course.

That's what will be taught, because that's what we will purchase.

Creationism isn't science.

Creationism doesn't have a scientific explanation for the diversity of life, they have a miraculous explanation.

A miraculous explanation is not now and never will be a scientific explanation.

And where is the demand for ACTUAL scientists in the Free Market going to go? You think suddenly oil exploration companies will hire YEC geologists to help them find oil; that suddenly biotechnology companies will hire creation-biologists to help them find cures for disease?

Why don't they do so now?

I know why! Because the Free Market has shown that assumptions of great age of the Earth pays off in terms of accurate prediction in geology; thus the Free Market hires REAL geologists.

Similarly the Free Market has shown that assumptions of evolution pays off in terms of accurate predictions in biology; thus the Free Market hires REAL biologists.

But good luck convincing the Free Market they are wrong, and that there is untapped potential in hiring creationists posing as scientists to make the next big discovery that will pay off!

You can do your song and dance, but the Free Market isn't interested in purchasing much of what you are selling!
