Strange Famous, please stop derailing this thread. I'm more than happy to discuss your view on science in the philosophy forum but we are dealing with a very real social and political issue here: knowledge being obfuscated by religious organizations; dogma being passed as science; and why our society is willing to allow such behavior.
This is equivalent to scientist walking into a religious gathering and claiming that evolution disproves the existence of God. We don't see biology teachers demanding that natural selection get equal time with Genesis at the pulpit.
In many way I view the Creationist movement behavior as people literally closing their eyes and rejecting knowledge and understanding of our world. I find this very disturbing.
