I wasn't very warm to some of your other comments, but this is a great question in my eyes. I think it's a prime example of what our current education breeds. What if the current options being presented aren't all of the choices? We tend to shut down creative thinking in our current factories we call school.
That idea has some merit in my eyes and I'm disappointed I haven't given it more thought. Something I'll have to mull over.

on the subject of education, I don't understand why people that are upset that evolution is taught in science class arnt fine with there just being a religious studies class as an anthropological type of study where you learn of all religions instead of teaching people specifically about a christian believe, namely creationism.
Asking that creationism be taught in school is asking that the christian specific religion is taught in school, and asking for it to be taught in science class is asking for it to be taught in totally the wrong arena.
You are free to believe in evolution, and god. Unfortunately there are extremely right wing Christians that dont believe that is possible. They are drawing the line, where most scientists would agree, that you are free to believe in religion as much as you like, so long as you don't let it interfere with your scientific endeavors.
It doesn't got that way with creationists. Creationism isn't a science and it doesn't belong in schools not devoted to teaching the specifics of christian theology.
