Creation science: en.wikipedia.org <<The 1982 ruling at McLean v. Arkansas found that creation science fails to meet the essential characteristics of science and that its chief intent is to advance a particular religious view.[7] This ruling concorded with the overwhelming consensus in the sciences that creation science is not truly science because it lacks empirical support, supplies no tentative hypotheses, and resolves to describe natural history in terms of scientifically untestable supernatural causes.[8] The teaching of creation science in public schools in the United States effectively ended in 1987 with the United States Supreme Court decision in Edwards v. Aguillard.[3] The court affirmed that a statute requiring the teaching of creation science alongside evolution when evolution is taught in Louisiana public schools was unconstitutional because its sole true purpose was to advance a particular religious belief.[7]>> HUH! No wonder all these folks don't believe in evolution. It's funny... the homeschool Biology textbook I looked at today stated that Darwin's theory leads people to think that environmental causes can be responsible for "wicked sin" and "Christians believe" only each person is responsible. Say what? So now growing up in violent homes has nothing to do with the outcome? I'm really seeing what simpletons these wacko's are. Really quite sad. I'm VERY thankful for the supreme court decision above. DAK
