Nate I agree: a new, optional course:" creation of the world, the theories and myths behind it". I would make it part of a course in philosophy. Europeans offer that in grade 9; it is a 4 year course; you get to learn every cockeyed belief. Thus when Carl and the gravediggers (try) to tell them that they came from slime our kids won't bat an eye, TA Message #744 from Nate at Sep 17 1999 4:08PM then we should teach all theories of creation of the world in literature since not of them have been proven facts. i agree, it's place is not in a science text book. i think there should be a new required course. creation of the world, the theories and myths behind it. would you agree??

re: Evolution as fact Evolution is a fact as much as gravity is a fact. Science classes teach what the established model is and why this is so. Previous models may also be covered as a historical record. The Theory of evolution belongs in this class at this time. For why this is so see the Evolution is a Theory and a Fact FAQ (http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-fact.html) Creation stories originating from ancient literature, whether the Bible or other sources belong in a literature or religious class. "Scientific" Creationism could be in a scientific method class where theories and invalid models are identified and the reasoning behind why they are not taken seriously expounded or it could also be covered in a religion class.
