"If we are going to teach 'creation science' as an alternative to evolution, then we should also teach the stork theory as an alternative to biological reproduction." [Judith Hayes]

I so agree with you.
I do however believe creationists can accept the evolution Fact as a manner of the "creation" if they are rational enough.
I believe in both (but not the stork, I've had a baby.)

I think the quote is a flag marker to Judith's ignorance to the 'creation science' (by which I only think she means the big bang theory) and also to a marker for the many people who would believe that these theories are two alternative stories instead of different chapters of one. I think the two sit spaced apart on the same chronology but I also have the crazy idea that the Earth may have completely molten when it was young.
(I know yall like: but there's grass and water everywhere, he's crazy.)

I agree. In fact, it's descriminative to stop there. We should also teach the theories that the world is flat, there is a hole in the north pole into the center of the earth where dinosaurs live, the moon landing was faked, and the sun is at the center of the universe.

Until the "theory" of evolution is completely proven I believe Mz. Judith Hayes should keep her "opinion" to herself this quote is ignorant and totally biased according to her own "beliefs". It was pretty witty but wit is only effective when used properly. If your into witty and hilarious quotes check out some of my man Winston Churchill's material.

Corny, I think it should be both or neither. Evolution causes a bias to believe that any religion claiming creation by God is false. I think it is unfair. I grew up in housing development and even as a child I prayed to God regularly. With drug addicts, criminals, hookers, and just an all around depressing surrounding the last thing I needed to hear was there is no God and I came from a pile of dirt! God Bless.

Better than Creationist rhetoric, especially since it shows its fallacy openly.

Amen!
Adding of course, the "moon is made of green cheese" theory of astronomy.

Kind of a dis-analogy, but heh, it's still funny.
