Texas Gov. George W. Bush, the GOP front-runner, believes both
evolution and creationism are valid educational subjects.

Ummm... this isn't his opinion on Creationism itself, but whether
it should be introduced to young minds as a *theory*. How can
allowing people to make up their own minds about the subject be BAD?
:-)

Creationism is a disproved theory.

Yes, and can you cite the laboratory work and tests that disproved
Creationism?

The last things that I read about Creationism lead me to believe that
it is internally consistent.

I don't believe it can be disproved.

Note that this is not the same thing as scientifically proving it.


How do you proove an enity removed from the Physical Universe as we
know it? One could also teach in schools that Wizzards and Witches
run things = It would be as legitimate as teaching Creationism!

After reading this I thought you almost got the point about what
I was saying, but then you continued on.

But
we can figure out the age of the earth and the ordering of species
during that timeline! Which totally disputes the Bibical Creationism
being taught!

According to what I have read about Creationism they make the
claim that God implanted the species in the rocks during the
Creation. Thus there is no contradiction between what we observe
and the Bible.


Never heard that! Many a fundamentalist will claim the Devil produced
all the fossils to deveive us about the turth of God! But to them the
whole earth is nothing but one big deception!

Creationists either claim the earth is a few thousand years old and
dispute measurements that determine age of rocks; or they say God
created all the species and say the earth may be very old!
