"I see your point, but at the same time, because the
constitution requires separation of church and state
(for wise reasons IMHO), I don't see how we can reconcile
the issues at stake here.
Should we only teach evolution in college when young
people have come of age?
Should we teach some mish-mash of creation myths to
satisfy every religious group?
The latter seems even worse than the former because
the youth would not only be exposed to _potential_
atheist views by certain kinds of teachers, but
views of various cults as well.
What would you suggest we do?"
Sorry for the delay in responding.
I think we need to give the ICR / AIG nonsense peddlers a "place at the
table."
They are our Christian brothers; they are our fellow citizens. They
deserve respect, even if their teachings do not.
In any honest comparison, they will lose.
By ignoring them, they can rightfully claim "martyr" and their strategies
ARE WINNING. Our strategies ARE NOT WINNING.
