If creationism is such a "threat" to science why did we even bother to send any creationists up in the space shuttle?

Good heavens, their presuppositions had to be a detriment to "real" science. Sheez. At least we could have sent people up there who only deal in "scientific facts" completely apart from and religion and/or philosophy. What a waste of taxpayer monies. /sarcasm

Creationism is no more a "threat" to science than an accordion is a "threat" to deer.

If creationism is such a "threat" to science ...

Creationism as a science is a joke, not a threat. It's no more a threat to evolution than astrology is to astonomy. The threat that creationism presents is not to science, but to the education system. The threat comes from misguided people who want to insert creationism into the schools, pretending that it's an alternative scientific theory that deserves to be presented to students along with evolution.

Thank you so much for your post!

It troubles me when there is resistance to questions raised from any quarter. My motto:

Truth is not threatened by inquiry; therefore, resistance to inquiry is prima facie cause for such inquiry.
