Unbias v. Malarkey
Seriously?
Should old age dates be taught as fact in the science classroom?
No, they should be taught as being the best explanation to the data we have collected.
I understand that there are many different beliefs out there about origins and they can't all be taught in science (partially as some are unscientific), so may i suggest we just don't teach any viewpoints in school
Then what the hell will we teach?
they can teach themselves at home
I don't pay thousands of dollars (or rather, pass the payment off to the government) so that I can teach myself at home. If I wanted that, I could do it for free!
thus come to a more unbias approach to a conclusion on the matter.
And possibly most likely a wrong conclusion.
That way it won't seem as if teaching only evolution is indoctrination.
To whom does it seem to be indoctrination? And regarding such people, are they really all that opposed to indoctrination in the rst place?
Isn't that a fair solution?
Me, the U.S. Supreme Court, and the scientic community all say: no.

Why is it all of these "parables" (Jack Chick, anyone?) always assume that the person doing the science is a blithering idiot, incapable of performing the experiments they are supposedly trained in?
Because they assume they're creationists.
