re: #9 darthstar

I taught creationism when I was a high school teacher. We read Babylonian, Hindu, Native American, African, Aborigine, Eskimo, Japanese and other creation mythology. When kids asked about Genesis, I explained that it, too, was a creation myth, just like all the others…and just as credible as the story of Apsu, Tiamat, and Marduk from the Enuma Elish (the oldest creation myth - thank you Babylonia!).

Somehow, I don’t think that’s what Barton has in mind though.

When I taught high school, we had a WHOLE CLASS for religion, and a WHOLE CLASS for science, and then I picked up some slack in comparative creation stories in English. The kids were extremely well-rounded. Also, not under the impression that evolution would eat their eyeballs while they slept.
