Quote:Well, at least you answered a portion of my post.

 

Why should an education not be "balanced" with respect to ideas and stimulating thought?  I do believe that you are confusing creationism with religion.  The two are not the same.

 

The way that I view education goes back to an interview that one of my "heroes" in life did, and is someone who I happen to look up to, Steve Wozniak.  I challenge you to watch that video (it's only 3:22 in length) and then think about what you are saying regarding creationism.

I'm not against stimulating thought.  But Creationism is a religious concept, not a scientific one.  Teachers may (and should) provide scientific critiques of evolution.  But they should not teach creationism.  An Intelligent Designer can neither be proven nor disproven by science.  


Creationism could be talked about maybe in a class like Comparative Religion.  But it has no place in a science class.  And most people don't take Comparative Religion.
