Teaching Creationism

Peloza is right when he says the creation model of origins is as scientific as the evolution model and no more religious. To prove the point, I offer a reward of $10,000 to the first person who produces empirical proof that particles-to-people evolution actually happened or is even possible. As long as this reward remains unclaimed, one can be certain that evolution is a religious concept, not science.

Islam, Judaism and Christianity are religions that assume the truth of the creation model. Other religions plus humanism, atheism and agnosticism presuppose the truth of the evolution model. It is not right to teach the foundation of one religion and not the others.

The best solution of all would be to give each student a voucher for $4,000 and let him pick a school of his choice. Then the public school wouldn’t have Christian children to kick around anymore.
