hehe...i remember my bio teaching not just teaching evolution as the only way, but making pointed remarks about "Thor, God of Thunder" and other obsolete dieties.
it went over like a lead baloon, but the dude had tenure, so there was nothing anyone could do. he also taught the scientific method, and how to think about science in a way that few other of my teachers did. simply, there isn't a way to "teach" creationism in a academic fashion. it's a category mistake about what is or is not a testable hypothesis...combined with some terrible reasoning and outright misinformation about "irreducable complexity." if i had my choice, i'd rather have Mr. Gunderson's lecture on Thor and misplaced attributions of cause over the "fairness" of presenting "both sides" of the argument. Fairness does not mean neutrality to the truth.
