SpasticKitten Sanguvixen Creationism in public schools? Wow...I knew it would happen eventually, but not this quickly!
Hmmmm....The best you can do if you don't care enough to go to court about it is to just do what assignments they tell you to do, regurgitate the poison they expect you to spout out, and then when it is over, forget all they had to say, and even do a little back research on Evolution, Chaos Theory(which practically debunks all of the Creationism/ID arguments in way way or the other) and what constitutes real science, and real theory. I'm very prone to brainwashing though. D= But, I guess if I just do the assignments, I'll half a** them. I can't possibly take this seriously.
Then don't take it seriously.
Be the biggest pain in the a** you can.
I can't believe it. I really can't. I mean, don't get me wrong, Creationism is really interesting-- for, like, a philosophy class. But it has no place in the sciences. At all.
I went to a Catholic school since 4th grade, and with all the Christianity there, they taught Evolution. Well, that might have to do with the fact that Catholics are the voice of reason in the Christian community, but still...

The voice of reason? Well, I've met many Catholics that would make you think otherwise.
Hopefully they'll make it easy for all of us and just stop using that curriculum.

SpasticKitten EmmaRaikou I would suggest making the principal and the schoolboard familiar with the Edward v Aguillard decision, and threaten a phone call from the ACLU. I hate the ACLU, and so does my dad. But then again, he probably doesn't like agnostics either, so I'm screwed either way. I'll go to their website though and see if there's any information about creationism in public schools. See if they have a branch in your local area. And then email them about the issue.

I doubt they'll stop using that curriculum if someone higher up the school board happens to be a Evangelical....
Be a pain in the a** if you want but I say it's just better off to question and debunk everything that's taught. Now, that's interesting.
I'd have to say, ID in schools, and in California too. The Governator isn't doing his job. I hope doesn't spread to neighboring counties and states.

The Evangelicals are the ones who kicked me down the road of Atheism. Oh, the irony.
And I'm sure you've met some bad Catholics. I have, too. When I said that, I was thinking of the Evangelicals... totally not the voice of reason.
Seriously, though. It's being taught in a science class. I'd ask the teacher, "What evidence is there to back this up?"
See what he says to that. twisted One thing, though. Be prepared. Evangelicals are masters at twisting words.

SpasticKitten CleverScreenname I would say take it as an opportunity to really understand the other side's arguments to strengthen your own. I don't think creationism is total crap. Well maybe it is. Creationism would make more sense if it was more on the side of "God influenced evolution" rather than "God created everything exactly the way it is now." The problem was that there WAS no argument for it. It had nothing to support it, whatsoever. How can you scientifically support a higher entity existing anyways?
That is the problem, you can't. Science and Faith cannot be mixed....the reason being is there is no scientific test to prove or disprove the existance of a Diety/God/Goddess.
You can't disprove it even though it has no real argument. It is foolishness really. It's the same as Unicorn Theory and God Theory. All you have to say is to one who says Unicorns arn't real is that "They can make themselves invisible via magic" or "You have to have faith" and there is not a damn thing science can do.
