4. I'd love to teach Creationism as Science...

...compare it to evolution every chance I got, and show how Evolution presents proof, and Creationism has none (i.e. that it's not science). And I'd throw in all other various "Theories" as the law allows it--that Earth is carried on the back of a turtle, etc. I'd even have tests on it: "Offer three examples of scientific evidence that prove the Earth was created in six days rather than over billions of years." I wonder if these people would be so gun-ho to put Creationism in the classrooms if they realized they're inviting teachers to prove their religion is ridiculous, and maybe convert their kids to atheists rather than, as they hope, indoctrinating kids with religion.
