Stating the obvious
Please forgive me if I'm repeating something that has already been pointed out. This is a question for those Creationists who want Creation taught in science classes. Who would you trust most to teach religion to your children - a science teacher or a teacher of Religion? As a scientist and a Christian I feel I know enough to teach science, but NOT enough to teach any form of religious subject. Also, I would find it very hard to teach children something I don't believe in and I certainly wouldn't want our local priest taking on science teaching since he admits he knows nothing about it! The whole point of having classes in different subjects taken by different teachers is that each subject is taught by someone who is specialised in their teaching area. Shall we get the cookery teacher to teach Maths because there are weights and measures in her recipes so she should understand numbers?
