I know this is a dead horse, but I agree completely on teaching creation in school. I'm really a huge supporter of teaching humanities in school. I took a comparative religion class in college and liked it alot.
I also took Astronomy, a science class, where they mentioned in passing that ancient peoples had a number of elaborate religious based explanations for the stars and the planets. However, they did not teach these as an "alternate scientific theory". As far as what's "fair" - there are alot of things in this world that aren't "fair". When I was a kid I thought it wasn't fair that I was only allowed eat two cookies. When I was in college it wasn't fair that the drinking age was 21. Life's not fair, and I really don't care about bending over backwards to make someone feel all warm and fuzzy by teaching kids religion as science just to shut up some fundamentalists. But in the end - it's not going to really matter. -Cameron On 8/22/06, Zaphod Beeblebrox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think that all points of view should be presented in school.
