It is time to storm those temples and convert them back to real schools teaching real science. Creationism Has No Place in School Creationism is an unacceptable explanation for the existence of the human species because it has no basis in science and therefore should not be taught in the science classrooms of the nation's public schools. There is no dispute among reputable scientists about the scientific basis of evolutionary theory, and so it must be taught in the public schools. The public schools are targeted by creationists because children are not attending church in any significant numbers. The challenge to evolution is theological not scientific.
Evolution destroys the central religious doctrine of atonement.
If Eve didn't eat an apple, there wouldn't be original sin to be inherited and no need for Jesus and his salvation. Lacking scientific evidence to support their story creationists resort to subterfuge to promote their theology. Creationists argue that if evidence for evolution is taught, then the evidence against it should also be taught. The fact is that there is no scientific evidence against evolution. Creationism is a religious account based on a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis of the Christian Bible.
