I’m pleased to see that some spark of hope persists in Pennsylvania.

Regardless of its apologists, Creationism is not science and must never be included in a science curriculum, except perhaps as an example of politically well-connected pseudoscience.

Creationism was debunked as an explanatory model of the universe centuries ago, and the god-of-the-gaps argument from which it sprang has been thoroughly refuted for centuries longer than that.

Mind you, this isn’t about “who caused the Big Bang” or “maybe evolution and religion are both correct.” This is about a far-right fringe religious sect attempting to force its dogma into public schools.

If Creationism is the valid science that they pretend it to be, then let them submit their studies for peer review.

Shame on Kansas, by the way.

Dave!
