Science classes are supposed to teach SCIENCE!

Perhaps there are legitimate scientific reasons to question Darwin, and if so, these should be mentioned. But even if there are scientific flaws in Darwin's theory, that still doesn't change the fact that a literal reading of Genesis is NOT science by any stretch of the imagination, and it should NEVER be taught in a biology class.

Of course, I oppose public education in general. In an ideal world this would be a moot point, since those who didn't want their kids to learn science would be free to send them to schools where it is not taught.

No one is suggesting Genesis be taught in biology class, and I'm surprised people still bring this up. The fact is that there are serious scientific questions about how well the evolutionary theory answers scientific questions. I know a lot on this forum dismiss the Intellegent Design Theory, but I think if I had to learn evolution, you folks should at least read a few ID articles. If you think this is a recap of Genesis, you haven't done your homework.
