Well I'm releaved. That ought to remove any ID or creationism from the classroom.
I used to support Christians, because I think the lifestyle of most of the Southern Baptists I grew up with is superior. But this argument about creationism, which I was taught in church to be inaccurate, has hardened me against christians in general. Mainly because of the bull-headedness and un-Christlike attitude of many ID and creationism supporters.
I just wonder how Christians would like it if "criticisims of religion", like criticisims of evolution, were taught in school. It's easy to come up with bogus arguments against things. The flat-earth people have some pretty good arguments that can convince someone who doesn't know much about the subject.
"They're like Napoleon's army in Moscow. They have occupied a lot of territory, and they think they've won the war. And yet they are very exposed in a hostile climate with a population that's very much unfriendly."
"That's the case with the Darwinists in the United States. The majority of the people are skeptical of the theory. And if the theory starts to waver a bit, it could all collapse, as Napoleon's army did in a rout."
