Quote:So like asked earlier, do we teach ancient astronaut? Do we teach Hindu creation theory? What about Last Thursday theory? 

 

The problem, I see with doing this is you basically keep it to a sentence. "Maybe it was some omnipotent creator, or creators. we don't know" and just move on. I just do not see it going down like that not when these ideals are rooted in religion. 

 

TJBender has expressed way better than I can what I'm talking about.

 

When the idea or "theory" of Creationism is taught, it should be taught in a way that creates thought.  It's not about endorsing any certain religion, it's about teaching the IDEA that so many religions or civilizations thought regarding how we are here today.  As an example, what did the Mayan people believe or think?  Were they a "dumb" culture?  What about the Egyptians?  What about the Inca or the Aztecs?  Were they a "dumb" civilization that had "wrong" ideas regarding the beginnings of our planet or the universe?

 

I would ask if the study of these ancient civilizations does  or does not include Creationism?

 

The objection thrown out by the left is that "Creationism is false" and "not science" so it should therefor be banned from education.  What they are afraid of is that the concept of Creationism=religion (specifically the Christian religion).
