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.
