Agreed, but it's missing the point of this topic, the bill of wheter Creationism should be taught in schools.
I think that the upbringing of children is worthy of a seperate thread. Anyone feel like starting one?
TOG - Here we have always had specific Religious Instruction lessons in our schools and it did not greatly interfere with other stuff. For example, in my school, 1945- 50, about one hour or so a week, the Jewish boys went off to their lesson, the RC boys went off to theirs, and the rest of us satyed where we were for ours. No-one ever turned a hair it was not a contentious subject, we did not even question the division or the relative issues. It was personal, see. I never ever heard it discussed. The same went for the army, and my regiment was from the most sore religious divide possible - Glasgow, No Mean City. Again no problem.
If even Darwin himself, even, pointed out that we are not capable of comprehended the mysteries of creation yet, and would not rule out a personal God, why should we, even if we have to deal with a primitive comprehension and description. It simply passes on to us the ancient word of mouth messages and pointers, and man-kinds interest in an obvious creation of some sort, somehow. Darwin did not accept an accident it seems.
Furthermore, our greatest modern physicist point out that in his opinion there are certainly more in heaven and earth than that which we know and that there is, in his opinion, a great deal of unintelligent life in the universe, and also a small amount of intelligent life,
and he believes that we are probably not yet an intelligent life.
So what do we yet know, what secrets are locked in Creationism and its pointers that we do not yet understand.
So, surely, the Religious Instruction lesson is a good and worthwhile option.
Oh, and if a thread as you describe becomes viable, I would be happy to put in my two pennyworth, although it is a subject which continues to bamboozle everyone, it seems.
