Unlike a great many “liberals,” Im not opposed to teaching creationism in schools. I don’t see anything wrong with it. More than half of Americans (55%) believe that God created man in his current form. It would be a sad error for our education system to ignore this fact.

You don’t see anything wrong with teaching not-science as science?
(via trainwrecks)
Sure I do. I don’t think I suggested that you teach it as science. But I do believe that you should present it as a point of view that is widely held within the general population. I think you should be respectful of this view. I don’t think you should present it as science, though, and I’m not entirely sure that it should be taught in science class (maybe religion class would be a more appropriate place for it). I don’t think it should be completely ignored, though.
Are you so scared of creationism that you want to ban it from our schools? Is it such a dangerous idea that we must ensure that our children are never exposed to it?
Why would it be okay to teach anything in schools which is demonstrably false? A class on religion would be fine with me if there was time for it but I can’t see it as a priority.
