Evolution vs Creationism. There’s no doubt in my mind that creationism, and religion in general, has no place in our public school systems’ science curricula. Still, if we were to “teach the controversy” as some creation myth supporters believe then we’d truly have to address *all* the possible creation myths, no?

To that end, I need one of these t-shirts:

Honestly though, sometimes I think that opening the doors to creation myths in school might not be a terrible idea. Yes, there are alternative stories that explain the creation of the universe; but why limit it simply to the Judeo-Christian myth? Why not teach all as possible alternatives?

After all, isn’t that the premise of teaching the controversy? Presenting ALL options?

I can just imagine the look on the faces of proper, god-fearing parents when their children come home from school and regale them with tales of black birds laying golden eggs or any of the other, numerous creation myths that would likely appeal to child more than the Christian origin tale.

And nevermind what’d happen if you include the FSM.

So please, by all means. Teach the Controversy. Just teach it completely.
