Yes, we agree on the fundamentals, but I am simply saying that there is nothing to study in creationism; or nothing that hasn’t been studied and dismissed, just like the flat earth theory has been.

If I understand you correctly, you advocate letting loose the scientific method on creationism, and it will be found to be wanting.

The problem is that has already has been done and rejected, but by allowing that concept into schools it gives the creationists the forum for their version of science and legitimizes the idea that they have an alternative theory, which will not be countered in those places where they are able to get teachers to teach it.

You don’t think we will ever see a classroom with a creationist teacher and an evolutionist scientist debating in front of the kids, do you?
