Outlawing teaching creationism as reality is just like outlawing spending science class to tell people Santa Claus made all the elements in a big magic cauldron, or history class telling kids the second world war started when the Fire Nation attacked.

Nice! Then we'll round up any non-atheists! After that we shall also prosecute ''nazis'', ''bigots'' , ''homophobics''. We'll make words you can use and you cannot because feelings! Wait.... isn't this 1984?

Wow that's a very slippery slope there
Having standards for education not to teach myths as fact has nothing to do with rounding up people.

That's an absurd statement, like saying the world is flat.
There's extremely strong evidence for evolution, including
1: Vestigal organs in various species
2: DNA sequence comparison - even non-coding parts share increasing amounts of identical sequences in species when they shared a common ancestor more recently. Additionally, they form nested hierarchies when compared. Given the millions of information units in DNA code, this is an extraordinarily strong statistical reason for evolution to be true.
3: Fossil record
4: Plain simple observation - diseases adapting and emerging, bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics, our banana, livestock and crops being artificially selected to maximize food
5: Ring species
...

When I am saying Evolution I am referring to one animal changing into another. Not adaption.

^^His dear lord save him, he still believes evolution is about animals magically transforming into other species!

NO ONE refers to evolution as a phenomenon of a specific animal magically changing species. Mainly because that doesn't even happen

Should every perspective (including creationism) be taught so no one is indoctrinated? Yes.

There's an infinite number of perspectives.
We know creationism is wrong, so why teach it?

You might as well teach alchemy along with chemistry so 'nobody is indoctrinated' or invisible smurf forces along with gravity. At best it's a waste of time for people who deserve a serious education, at worst it seriously misguides them.

No, only the ones with reasonable scientific data. So creationism or flat-earth theories should NOT be taught, because they are wrong.

Yes, since they can learn how baseless such things really are.

How about being anti-indoctrination


You want to enforce one point of view and ban all opposing points. Sounds like indoctrination to me.

Us normal people can say Creationism without shitting our pants.

But you're apparently scared enough of it that you have to ban it.


In any case. I still hold that neither creationism or evolution should be banned. Let people decide for themselves which they want to believe.
