When we teach Creationism, we are teaching children to accept as scientific fact what has been accepted on faith. This goes against the scientific method because in science, the initial hypothesis is always subject to change. With creationism the faith is never subject to change regardless of the evidence. Creationism start with a conclusion and seek evidence to support the conclusion. If the evidence does not support the conclusion then we disregard the evidence because we cannot reject what we accept on faith. It is just another means of defending the faith. It's not science and we shouldn't be using our tax dollars to teach it to our kids. If the churches want to teach this, that's ok with me, but not with our tax dollars.Never mind the failed attempt to deflect, the thread isnt about the Big Bang Theory, its about Christian fundamentalists teaching school children that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time, find 33 top scientists who agree with that.
Those tax dollars are the tax dollars of fundamentalists, too. Do you think they should have to subsidize teachings abhorent to their beliefs?
That doesnt give Christian fundamentalists license to try to pass off myth and superstition as facts.
And however abhorrent some Christians may find it, it is a fact that dinosaurs were gone 60 million years before the advent of the first hominids, and that the Earth is indeed billions of years old.
