I think Creationsim should be taught in Science class
BUT, only if the questions over existence of Jesus and the accuracy of the Bible can me taught in History class.

If debate is good, then debate is good. QED

1. Creationism should be taught in science classes
And it should be taught like this:

"Creationism is 100% bullshit based entirely on mythology that predates the smelting of iron."

2. You go to church to go to learn about Jesus

If you want him taught in the class room, send your children to a religious school.

You know, my son asked me one time (when he was about 7) to take him to church. I obliged. The next week I asked him if he wanted to go again, he said no thanks. I guess he wasn't all that impressed with it.

5. I dissagree. I am ok with those topics in history...
I am NOT OK with creationism in science class.

Creationism can not legitimately be considered science.
The existence of a historical Jesus could legitimately be considered history.
The accuracy of the bible could also be legitimately considered history.

A better parallel would be teaching that Jesus was a black man from China in history class (or some other equally absurd claim).
