I don't understand why we have to teach creationism in schools. If you want your children to learn about religion, send them to bible school. Can't afford it? Sounds like a personal problem to me.


edit:

I agree with Nick - In my experience, particularly here in the bible belt, people will denounce any scientific fact that they perceive to be contrary to their religious beliefs, even if (a) it is so obviously true as to be indisputable and/or (b) it isn't actually counter to their beliefs at all. Establishing an age to the universe doesn't actually prove or disprove creationism, if you stop and think about it. "God" could have created the universe whenever he damn well pleased but if there is no age, then it's been here forever, so how could he have created it? The belief is that HE created it, right? So it would have to have an age...? If anything, I would think creationists would argue that the universe DOES have a specific age, like back in the good old days when they used to argue that the earth was only 4000 years old.

Somebody feel free to correct me if I am misunderstanding the term "creationism." But to me these two beliefs are not mutually exclusive.
