Centuries ago, people 'knew' the world was flat and the sun revolved around it. Now we know the world is a large sphere orbiting a larger sphere we know as the sun. As our undestanding of the universe grows, we have a shrinking need for faith.
Yet, the faithfull choose to ignore certain idea because they conflict with scriptures. The theory of evolution, the idea of different species of animals decending from simpler lifeforms, continues to be attacked by these who dogmatically accept the stories in their scriptures.
Despite the evidence for evolution, transitional fossils, genetic makeups, and such, the theists will either flat out deny or minimise their importance.
Some cite the apparent 'perfection' of the 'design' of the earth. Yeah, such as unhospitable lands, natural disasters such as volcanoes, tidal waves, hurricanes and such, organs such as the appendix that serve herbivore animals well, but only serve to kill humans. Perfect design? only to a malicious jerk.
Like it or not, we are the product of natural selection, the evidence is overwhelming.
Teaching creation in public schools? It's like teaching alchemy ir magic ritual. Not very practical. The question of who's creationism arises. Do we teach about Xenu? Ra? There's a lot of religions out there. Not just yous. If you want attention, don't ignore others.
