Creation as a scientific theory
I think that "intelligent creation" could be considered a "scientific theory". It is certainly a possibility that has not been completely ruled out. However, the scientific evidence for it is not very strong.
If you put the "weaker condenders" in one part of the text book, then you have to be fair to put them in ALL parts of the book, otherwise it would be pandering to religion, which is against the consitution. Filling all portions with "weaker contenders" would make for a confusing textbook.
BTW, how do creationists justify foot bones in wales? One theory is "software reuse". However, that would imply that God did not have enuf time to "do it right" and had to take shortcuts. "Whales still have DOS code in them".

But how does the Great Turtle move?
Oh, that's right. Creation "science" is only scientific if it's christian. Personally, I like the Norse explanation.
"Ymir slept, falling into a sweat. Under his left arm there grew a man and a woman. And one of his legs begot a son with the other. This was the beginning of the frost ogres."
Much more entertaining than "Let there be light."

How to mangle the truth;
Have it reported by any major U.S. media outlet.

Waiting for Val.
Did I mention that Valhalla sounds so much more fun than Heaven or Hell?

Damn CRC..
Your wacko associative nexus appears to be wired almost as randomly as mine .. poor baby. Ah.. fond memories from days of innocence -
All I Want for Christmas is bin-Laden's Teeth
I Saw Mommy Dissing Santa's Claws
(why did he take off his suit, though?)
Chess Nuts Roasting on an Open Pyre
..and of course the song written for epicurean motorcyclists,
Me and My Shadow
Ok OK - I'll go

The Turtle Moves!
A central saying in Terry Pratchett's hilarious book, Small Gods.
Cheers,
