TENNESSEE: Senate Passes Bill Allowing The Teaching Of Creationism

[Johonny]

29. I agree

At least at one time creationism was the dominate theory. So I wouldn't say it's not a "theory". When people teach say atomic structure it is not unusual to start with the Bohr theory of the atom. It's not the best description of the atom but it's a simple starting point. There was a time when creationism made sense. Many preDarwin naturalist accept creationism and fit science observations into that perspective. You could talk students through something like climate change or creationism the same way you talk students from geocentric to the heliocentric model of the solar system or Newtonian mechanics to relativity. Is that what these people want? To talk about these things as historic theories? No, of course not.

The law is stupid because the writers are so blind to think most people think like them or can be forced to. When scientists add creationism and intelligent design to their text books it won't be a positive thing. They will get to show all the negative evidence against those theories. The teachers that teach out of those books will of course get punished by these law makers. Because in these peoples world science isn't a process of thinking, they know what to think already they just want theories that fit their preconceived ideas. That isn't science and doesn't have a place in a class called science.
