The
fuss in Texas reminds me of how silly the 150 year-old refusal of religious nutcases to accept reality actually is. They want creationism to be taught in US schools. Of course creationism needs to be taught in schools. It should even be taught
before evolution. You know, just like in Geology class, kids get taught that
before Columbus, people thought the earth was flat. Just like in Physics class,
before Galilei, people thought the earth was in the center of the solar system. Just like in these two examples,
before Darwin, people thought we were created by some guy in the sky. And just like Columbusism and Galileism, it makes perfect sense to teach evolutionary biology as 'Darwinism'

I just don't understand what the problem is?
