Who better than a bunch of idiot redneck legislators to tell science teachers what to teach?
Thanks Republicans!

An Indiana Senate panel has approved a bill that would allow creationism to be taught in Indiana's public schools.
The Times of Munster reported that the Republican-controlled Senate Education Committee voted 8-2 Wednesday to send the legislation to the full Senate despite pleas from scientists and religious leaders to keep religion out of science classrooms.
The bill allows schools to authorize "the teaching of various theories concerning the origin of life" and specifically mentions "creation science" as one such theory. Creationism is the belief that the Earth and its creatures were created by a deity.
Purdue University professor of chemistry John Staver told the panel evolution is the only theory of life's origins that relies on scientific investigations. He says creationism "is unquestionably a statement of a specific religion."

Obviously pi = 22/7. I have declared it to be so.

It should be taught in schools, right alongside the scientific method. As an example of what NOT to do.

here's how i would teach creationism:
ok kids here is a belief that i am forced to cover. it's useless belief that will lead to no further insight about the world, and generate no new predictions. you can't ever know if this belief is true or not. you'll never test it and you will never find any evidence. they call the belief creationism and only people who fail high school science believe in it.
no more about silly beliefs, back to science.

It's neither science nor a theory, *even if it were undeniably true*, because it's not testable (science) and not falsifiable (a theory). If it were true, it would be an axiom.
Since it's not true, it's merely cow chips.

"God did it" is not good science no matter how much you fancy it up.
