typical IDiot-ology, grabbing the latest pop-psycho fad and running with it
That's not what a Nature editorial said.
"Ignoring the creationist threat will not make it go away. 1
The subheading said, Creationists seize on any perceived gaps in our knowledge of evolutionary processes. But scientists can and should fight back, says Russell Garwood. vary, and modern science is now based on 2
Last month, this journal [Nature] published a fossil study that described a new species of large tyrannosauroid dinosaur covered in feathers. A week later, the US state of Tennessee passed a creationist bill that encourages teachers to discuss the “weaknesses” of evolution. The first event provided fodder for a shrewd and calculated creationist machine; the second was its latest victory. As a palaeontologist, I believe the way that scientists and journals present research in my field can help to feed anti-evolution disinformation. Because we tend to stress novelty and play up scientific disagreement, and like to shift paradigms and break moulds, we offer our critics ammunition. As the events in Tennessee show, the fight against evolution comes with significant consequences. 3
In my field, uncertainty is everywhere. 4"

Even Nature feels the heat of creation and creation science.
ETA: "Fifty studies were reviewed of opinions on teaching origins. The vast majority found about 90% of the public desired that both creation and evolution or creation only be taught in the public schools.
About 90 % of Americans consider themselves creationists of some form, and about half believe that
God created humans in their present form within the past 10,000 years. In America, about 15 % of high school teachers teach both
evolution and
creation, and close to 20 % of high school science teachers and about 10,000 scientists (including more than 4,000 life scientists) reject both macroevolution and theistic evolution. Although the vast majority of Americans desire both creation and evolution taught in school, the evolutionary naturalism worldview dominates, revealing a major disparity between the population and the ruling élite."

" There is no reason that
Creationism should not discussed in the public schools because evolution is being taught and after 125 years, it remains a theory. Additionally, evidence against the theory of evolution should be allowed to be discussed. There should be freedom to speak about the lack of fossil evidence like all of the missing links that should show transitional fossils evolving from one species into another. The only evidence that the theory of evolution has right now are sketches, drawings, and computer images that show purported transitions of one species evolving into another, different species. The fossil evidence has never supported this theory and students have every right to know all of the facts."
