[QUOTE="TemperateSeaIsland, post: 48613211, member: 120264"] And when the student goes to university to study one of the many sciences it contradicts (it's not just the theory of evolution) and finds out that their belief in creationism is regarded as a sick joke within those subjects, then what? Scientific theories earn their way into schools and school science lessons are there to give students a taste of the scientific methodology and knowledge that has been built up. Creationism doesn't figure into this at all, it goes against the methodology (not a science) and what little it does predict (age of the universe, evidence of a worldwide flood) is contradicted by the knowledge we have of chemistry, physics and geology. Science lessons don't exist to pander and reinforce peoples ideas of how the word works. Teaching creationism in a science class would be akin to teaching pick pocketing in a good citizenship class.
