Reply #7: AMEN (In a secular way, of course)!

And here I thought I was the only person in America to hold this seemingly "discordant" idea.

Frankly, I would *love* it if schools offered some sort of philosphy/debate/etc. type class in which ANYTHING could be addressed and discussed in an open, moderated and productive forum. I haven't a fear of information or ideas and I find suspicious anybody who says they only want one idea to be posited in schools. I think such a class would reduce the coarseness and division we currently find so prevalent in our modes of discourse today.

But yes, evolution is for a science class and creationism should be in a philosophy class. Barring the massive installation of critical thought programs in our schools, creationism should be right out.
