Evolution

5. Should schools teach both?

NO NON ONON NO. The comic you posted says it all. Would you teach kids alchemy alongside chemistry? No. Would you teach astronomy alongside astrology? No. Would you teach holocaust denial alongside WWII history? No. Would you teach intelligent falling alongside gravity? No. Truth is, creationism is NOT science. Science draws conclusions based on evidence. Creationism draws evidence based on conclusions. Evolution has active, acceptable theories and peer reviewed evidence supporting it. Every "theory" put up by creationism falls flat on its face and not a single peer reviewed paper has ever been published supporting creationism. Intelligent Design is supported by as much evidence as Intelligent Falling. None. Should we teach kids every option regarding every subject? No. Kids should be taught the currently accepted model. The one backed with supporting evidence. The one most biologists (>99%) accept. That's it.

I like this guy. I never looked at it this way, and I must say that it puts a whole new perspective on things.
