Creationism has no more place in education than alchemy or astrology. It certainly has no place in the science class, where to even mention it is to waste valuable time. It may have a place in a historical 'this is what we used to believe before we learned better' sense, but no more. It has no basis in science and, as a 'theory' (in the loosest sense of the word), was discredited quite some time ago. The fact that some idiots still believe it is no more relevant than the fact that there are primitive tribes who believe that sex does not lead to child birth (although at least in their case the ignorance can be excused to some degree). Agreed, HB! The 'religious education' taught in non-sectarian schools is indeed 'comparative religion' and, while I would still like it consigned to the 'social history' class, I do accept that there are still a lot of individuals who believe in an all-pervading, all-powerful invisible friend who gives a flying fcuk about their particular problems in life.

When I was at secondary school (for a wee while) we had an art teacher (favourite subject) who made everyone bring a bible (state school) I asked my parents if I could refuse as the teacher made us all read the bible and all our painting was on religous subjects. They said OK. I was belted every time for weeks as I did not bring one, until I told my parents, who phoned the headmaster and I was then excused bringing a bible. After leaving school I discovered this chap had been captured by the Japs. and was very badly treated and saw some horrific things. I felt quite sorry for him, as he had turned to religion after his captivity, unfortunately he thought everyone else should too.
