Refusing to teach creationism in schools is inherently bigotry?

[BobG]

Is it not to say that by refusing to teach creationism in schools is inherently bigotry?

Which creation story should we teach in order to avoid bigotry?

Sanema creation story

Muslim creation story

Chinese creation story

Australian aborigine creation story

Humanist creation story

How come the meaning of so many creation stories is that humans should care for the Earth and there's so few creation stories where the meaning is all of the Earth's resources were put there for the pleasure of man?

The only mandatory religion in US schools is a unit or two on world religions taught in social studies (history) class. It isn't taught as 'here are your options, pick one' or anything - just like we're taught about Naziism, but without the purpose of making us Nazis.

Oh right, so there is some religious education. Admittedly, we probably had a little more, since we had a religious education class, but it was taught with the intention to educate, rather than offer religions to join.

Good point and they all contradict each other in principle.

It's sad that it's the 21st century and this is a problem in society when there are greater issues to deal with. Inherent in the beliefs of monotheistic religions tell you that homosexuality is an abomination.

Is there a point to this thread? 30-odd posts in, I can not discern what that might be. What does same-sex marriage have to do with teaching creationism?

This thread is pointless, the OP has not given enough information to begin a discussion, and now has changed the topic.

Closed.
