comment 4 by Kubrick  I'm not so sure that banishing creationism
from the classroom is the answer. Why can't creationism be
introduced to contrast it with genuine science? For that matter,
I would like my child to be taught why astrology, demon-
possession, etc. are pseudoscientific.  None of these should be
taught as "alternative theories," of course. But introducing
such topics might help students better understand what science
is (and what it isn't).  Fri, 08 Jan 2010 02:00:00 UTC | #429873
