This has come up in a few other threads I believe, and I'd like an answer from the creationists here if possible.
There are many, many religious books around the world. There are many, many creation stories around the world. If the decision is made to teach kids about creationism in school, why should they be limited to learning about one particular story just because it is the prevailing religion in their country? Why only learn the Christian one?
It smacks of bias right there, preferential treatment if you will - and seems to support the idea that proponents have a religious agenda, and are not interested in "teaching the controversy".
So the question really is what makes the Christian creation story so special, and why should the world's other creation stories not be taught as well?
Present your arguments please.

Social issues in Creation/Evolution?
Hello, I.R.H.! Where do YOU want your topic to go? Social Issues? Educational Issues? Is It Science? I think it fits best in Educational issues.
Let me know which forum you want this in, I.R.H.
