"This is a meaningless question, Michigan is a majority Christian state and they can choose theories of discussion that involves Christian viewpoints if they wish, this is a democratic society where majority voters values shoild prevail."

Why do you believe the the correctness of a science is up for democratic vote?

Should we have the ability to decide that Geocentrism is a better explanation than Heliocentrism by vote? Should we be able to vote Astrology to be part of Astronomy class? Or should the validity of the opposing concepts be determined in the arena of science?

If Creationism is taught, should the type of creationism also be subject to a vote?

No , i dont think that.


But discussing alternative theories and not considering it as science should not be such a big deal if approched with a open mind.
