I agree with you that it's ridiculous and that things like Creationism have no place in a science class.I just want to reiterate, I am not talking about anything here but what can be scientifically tested and proven. Since deity and afterlife and spirits and so on cannot really be touched by science then differing beliefs in those things are to be expected. But when we have scientific data coming out of our ears that all agrees that the Earth is around 4.5 BILLION years old then trying to base a few thousand year old Earth on the literal translation of some verses of the bible is ridiculous. I don't care if that offends some people either...it IS ridiculous...plain and simple.
However, I have friends who are Creationists. I'm not going to tell them they are ignorant, altough I do tell them I disagree and it's better that we don't talk about that particular subject. What will it accomplish for me to get in their face and tell them they are wrong?
