teaching creationism in biology class will garner a dropped jaw, a roll of the eyes, or a shocked blank expression.

My grandfather is a former methodist minister in England (former cause he's old and retired now, not that he lost his faith). He and his wife (my grandmother died when I was young) are very devout christians and attend church at least once a week, participate in christian charity functions etc.

Yet even to them teaching creationism in biology class is wrong.

Creationism belongs in a theology class, not a biology class. I for one have no problem with schools teaching theology as a non-required class. I also don't have a problem with having the ability to choose a homeroom or some such in schools that has a prayer. As long as they don't force prayer on my children, and don't teach theology in a biology class I have no problem with it.

Is that wrong?
