Creationism... 180 Degrees Later

Isn't it odd how Creationism has made an about face? Centuries ago Creationism, the belief that God created the Universe, was standard teaching. When scientists offered theories that could challenge or even adjust that belief, they were punished and ridiculed.

Now, in our infinite wisdom, our society has turned the other cheek. Now, Darwinism is the standard teaching and those who would teach Creationism are punished and ridiculed. Even though Darwinism is just a theory and Creationism is just another theory, our fine publicly-funded educators have deemed Creationism an inappropriate subject for our youth.

Yes, it certainly is dangerous that the Universe was created by something bigger than us, better than us and more intelligent than us. That makes us... well, human. So, let's not teach that. Let's teach how the Universe is a completely random fluke and it's only by happenstance that we are living, breathing and now dismissing the possibilty that God had something to do with our presence on this planet.

Boy, how times have changed.
