This post is late by blogging standards, but I've only just stumbled across the link, and it's too good to ignore.
Robert Corr's sparked a torrid debate regarding the teaching of creationism as science at schools.
It's simple really; when the god botherers allow the teaching of secular humanism at religious instruction classes, I'll be quite happy to allow the teaching of creationism as science.
Fine by me.
Creationism as a 'science' makes me apoplectic.
The whole point of science is that you set up a hypothesis and everyone including your self tries to disprove it. The longer it withstands disproving the more it becomes a 'law' of science.
Creationism is a doctrine which brooks almost no argument and is certainly hardly tested - and if it is tested, it turns out to be rubbish!!
Science?? Don't make me laugh - except the power of the fundementalists to interfere with school curriculums is too scarey. And university curriculuims in the States I hear. Disgraceful.
