Rather than fight to get Christian theology and philosophy presented by making it a part of a required philosopy curriculum and focusing on things like the Ten Commandments and the life of Jesus, they try to force the acceptance of the Book of Genesis as an authoritative science and history text.

So how'd we get from allowing creation to be taught in schools again as it had been for decades until it was forced out by litigation, to forcing everyone to accept the whole book of Genesis as an authoritative science and history text? Hyperbole much?

The hysteria about what the "other side" is doing is amusing at best.

I guess if you can't present your point of view and let it stand on it's own merits, then the only thing left to do is misrepresent the creationist position and make things up about them and try to snow others into believing it.

OMG!!! They're LITERALISTS! They want to impose a theocracy on us! They want to send us back to the Dark Ages! The sky is falling! OMG!!!

Ooops, better strike the OMG part. They don't want Him in the picture.

Certainly no less than the "evolutionists hate God" arguments.

Yup....their dog still won’t hunt. When creationism was allowed in school, we didn’t exactly morph into a Theocracy back then now did we?
