One of the major arguments that Creationists use when they attempt to pass off their nonsense on the public schools is that Creationism and/or Intelligent Design is not religious, but another "scientific" way of looking at the origin of the earth and its inhabitants.As the school board in Dover, Pennsylvania, said: Baloney! Creationism and Intelligent Design is all about religion, and is nothing more that an underhanded attempt to foist a particular set of religious beliefs on children in our public schools.
I can't imagine why that was ever questioned. Even though the Creationists in all their various forms speak out of two sides of their mouths, they are very public and up front about their religious credo.
Point your browser to the Answers in Genesis website and see for yourself.
There you will find a biography of Ken Ham, [see photo] president and founder of Answers in Genesis--U.S., and information about the incredibly stupid Creation Museum. The biography announces proudly that Mr. Ham "is one of the most in-demand Christian speakers in North America." He is "the author of numerous books on the book of Genesis, the accuracy and authority of the Bible, dinosaurs, and the destructive fruits of evolutionary thinking ..."
That says it clearly. Key words: Christian, authority of the Bible, destructive fruits of evolutionary thinking...
On another page of the website you will find advertisements for various books, such as: "The Lie: Evolution." Another tome claims that it "Equips Christians to defend the book of Genesis." Or how about "Answers Academy Curriculum," which "equips you with a creation-based worldview"? Then there's a DVD called "Dinosaurs, Genesis and the Gospel." And everyone will need the booklet "Where Did God Come From," which "Teaches Christians the right way to defend their faith when they argue creation vs evolution."
If a school board in your area begins to ramble on about the importance of presenting different scientific points of view in its science classes, please remind them that Creation "Science" is an oxymoron, that it is not science in any sense of the word, but a Christian theological worldview and tell them to point their browsers to Answers in Genesis for corroboration.
You'll be doing our public school children a huge favor.

I guess they can ignore real science but how do they justify using medical and scientific research to save lives, etc? Let them stew in their own juices and await the second coming. He will probably arrive in Israel, so there should be hotels catering to the crowd of well wishers waiting to greet their Jewish Lord. Israel can use the tourists of course.
