Because basing classroom instruction on mythology and fairy-tales is just about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Thankfully, that embarrasing period in American history is behind us. Time to start teaching science in school, and mythology and fairy-tales in church.
As it should be.

Gidget,
you're a moron, did you know that?
If you want schools to teach only facts then evolution will CERTAINLY be taught. You see Gidget, in the REAL world, something can be a theory and be factual all at the same time. It's true!
One semester spent in ANY sort of science class could tell you that.
Oh and one last thing to blow your teeny mind; did you know that gravity is only a "theory"? Yep it's true.
The only "law" of gravity is Newton's law. And it's not universally accepted.

Good luck, in all seriousness.
Edit:
And Gidget and barrow show you what you are up against. Why are they so proud of their ignorance?

Show me proof of evilution(yes, I know it is misspelled), and I will agree with you. Show me the missing link in the evolution of ants to wasps. Or explain to me how the head of an ape found 2 miles from the body of a human child can be conceivably be the creature they call Lucy?
I still have not seen any facts about evilution.
I agree, Gidget.
As for pea brained idiots. Lets think on this for a minute. The Theory concerning gravity has physic's equations to back it up...
I still have yet to see an ape driving a car or using a computer with any proficiency. So when a bug starts walking on 2 legs and telling me what to do. Then I will take evilution as fact. Till then it has no basis for understanding.

One disagreement: Mythology and faerie tales are not just for church. Holy books = church, okay, mainly. But as an English Major I cover mythology, faerie tales and even some of the bible in classes. I enjoy all but the covering of the bible, as I can't understand why we only cover it and not other holy books that could be just as interesting.

I think that it is wrong for a school to teach anything as a fact if it has not been proved. This includes evolution. Evolution should not be taught because it cannot be proved. Either schools should teach nothing about the beginning of the world or they should provide different explanations for the creation of the world. And yes, that includes intelligent design.

Normal Americans should have no time for the conservative Christian traitors in their midst. They actually want your country to be backwards-they're happy for your kids to be denied the learning opportunities that European kids are being offered. In the UK the religionists have been ground into the dirt and I only hope the same happens in the US in the near future.

Well, with people like Gov. Rick Perry getting elected as Governors, it is not too far we see "intelligent design" in school textbooks.

I agree with you. I really really do. Problem is you'll still find alot of religious (they're getting far too much power in the US. It needs to be stopped) will keep trying to get it into the schools and to try to make it into "fact". Or there version of fact anyway.

Listening to Bush's speech now. *sigh* He just said "This is not my first rodeo."
PLEASE!
This cowboy act is getting so old. You know he's never been in a rodeo. I doubt he's ever even been TO one. But the sheeples love him!

Well it certainly wasn't restored to this thread. I suppose you would like for schools to teach the Big Bang Theory and evolution, which have not been proven. How is this any different than "fairy-tales" ?

Isn't that what Christianity was accused of doing.... legislating beliefs?
