Debate: Should students be allowed to choose to be taught creationism?
Side: No

I understand why religion had to be taken out of school. But I think that I could be a serious science.I have a regret.In the old days, we had witches and such for our medicine. They were actually quite effective. They used principles such as divining and such to determine the life force of food. Then sugar came along. The Holy Crusades were really about sugar and spices. The Knights went into Jerusalem and quickly became addicted to it. Sugar was extracted from Sugar Beats at the time. The Knights took it back to England and France where people there also got addicted to it.The poor white folk of Europe were not used to the sugar and had to concept of "moderation" with it. People would go into sugar shock and/or basically go crazy. Of course, they would call for the local "medicine woman" to help. She would quickly realize what was wrong and basically say there wasn't anything she could do, it just had to wear off.Soon the women were being accused of "bewitching people." The church also became involved in the sugar trade. The Witches condemned Sugar as "dead food" and forbid anyone to use it. The powers that be didn't like that and forbid women from practicing medicine and actually made crime punishable by death.About the same time, cats were considered to be the Witch's Companions were also condemned to death. This allowed an over growth of rats that brought the plague.The schools and universities couldn't do much about the plague. Many of the doctors actually died.Medical Science then became based upon digging up freshly dead bodies and cutting them up. Now those people are called heroes. If I did that even today, I would be locked up a lunatic.I say that "truth happens." And thus, we have what we have. I cannot justify in my feelings changing history. But I wonder what would have happened if natural healing was given the same attention.Much of university education was about "prestige."Natural Healing was based a lot upon eating right, faith, and herbal medicine.Allopathic Medicine tries to imply that all disease is somehow a germ, disorder, genetic, or something else can be explained with a "scientific discovery."Natural Medicine says "eat right, exercise, take time to rest and play, and occasionally smoke. . . . er, I mean take herb."Modern Science says, "it is foolish to assume herb is going to heal cancer." And I agree. But many of the disease exist because we ignore the rules of natural medicine. Insanity is almost directly tied to sugar and processed foods. Sugar is a drug, not unlike heroine. It modifies behavior in children and adults.And what the hell does this have to do with Creationism?. . . . . . I'm thinking, I'm thinking.Natural Medicine is strongly tied to the idea that we were created in such a way. There is a belief that God created a herb or cure for any aliment. Creationism tries all things together, as if there was purpose and relationship between all things. (I'm doing good here.) Creationism implies that we all tried together and that we are not just of the same species, but of the same family.They don't just want to argue with evolution, they want to erase it entirely. I don't need to argue with evolution. But evolutionists obviously want to erase creationism. Which is suspicious to me. Creationism is part of history, part of culture, part of who we are. Even if don't believe it, we disrespect it so? I don't believe in Blood Letting, or using Mercury to heal people, but I am not offended hearing about it. It's what "modern medicine" used to do. . . . . ignorant bastards.
