Quote: wannabuyamonkey said: OK and your second statement, first your saying that Creationism is automatically invalid because it assumes there is a God, but evolution assumes that creationism is false and DOES assume that the world developed independant of God. Now since you say it has NO scientific merrit you must have exaustively studied it in order to rule out any scientific merrit, so if you would please, without using google, tell me 5 thinks you KNOW about intellegent design theory.
Evolutionary theory as I understand it makes no comment about a God..."God" is not something approachable by Science.
Creationism assumes the causal state, that there is a God. Science NEVER assumes the causal state. It seeks to find the causal state. That fact right there rules out Creationism as a scientific theory.
Why is it such a big deal to those of your more religious than I to have Creationism taught in a science class?
