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.

Here’s
the latest.
Just who appointed this shameless activist Judge John Jones (not to be confused
with the Martian Manhunter) who sees fit to subvert the will of the people and
to legislate from the bench?
Why, none other than our esteemed President George W. Bush.
Well I’ll be darned. This may be one of the few times that the stopped clock of
Dubya’s brain got it right--Jones has ruled correctly that Creationism, under
any pseudonym, has no place in a science classroom. He also correctly
criticized proponents of Creationism for engaging in deception to get their
religious myth taught in public schools.
Bravo, Judge Jones!
Dave!
