Bill Nye on creationism:

[Stratego]

True, but so does anything else. I could theoretically ask an infinite question from any answer. That's what good scientists do.

Anyways, it's getting late for me. If you want, we can continue tomorrow.

We should try to never prohibit anything from being taught. We have no idea what will or will not be proven right or wrong in the future.

Back in the 90s, I was taught that everything in the universe was made up of only those element on that periodic table that we see on the wall. But, now I've learned that the vast majority of "stuff" in the universe, like 70% of it, is actually made up of dark matter, which we haven't the slightest clue about.

Back in the 1400s, teaching a geocentric model of the universe was the only thing that was acceptable - anything else got you killed for being a heretic.

I doubt seriously that creatinsts will ever be proven right. But, can anyone here prove that they are wrong? It should be taught as a version of history. One that was widely believed many years ago, but not so much any more. Somewhat like many issues in history.

It all depends upon your POV. We, as Americans, are taught that if we had not joined WW2, we'd all be speaking German/Japanese now. We were the saviors of mankind!! (or whatever) But, over in Russia, they are taught something vastly different. They are taught that through attrition and gritty fighting, they won. And, they might have a point - after all, they were the first to Berlin.

My point is this. Until something is proven wrong (geocentrism), it should be taught. But, it should also be taught that most people don't believe it to be true. Just some.
