by metric on 2005-01-14 11:40:28Creationism fails the Lemon test established by the Supreme Court in Lemov vs. Kurtzman: Under the Lemon test, a government-sponsored message violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment if: (1) it does not have a secular purpose, (2) its principal or primary effect advances or inhibits religion, or (3) it creates an excessive entanglement of the government with religion. -

by zeroKnots on 2006-08-09 20:28:46I agree schools shouldnt teach it because its clearly unconstitutional and unsubstanciated. It sets a bad example to students when a teacher cant back up what they teach. Besides, churches are free, theyre practitioners where teachers are expected to become well versed? I gathered lots of good stuff from religions in my ongoing search, but no way could I teach it. Its not physical. Its purely intuitive. In my opinion religeon is not in the least contradictory to evolution facts. But religeon, or its present misuse, is antagonistic to scientific reason. Religious leaders claiming that 'well ok then, it was BABY dinosaurs that got put on the ark'. I'd take my kid right outta that school.
