Nothing in that post refutes my point.

If public schools present creationism/ID as a scientific alternative alongside the theory of evolution, what logic would dictate that astrology should not taught alongside astronomy? Both astrology and creationism/ID have the same amount of scientific value, both are dependent upon supernatural actors, and teaching both would simply grant creationsists/IDers wish of presenting both sides of a controversy.

The only difference apparent on the face of these beliefs is that one is a part of your religious beliefs, and the other is not. Care to explain any other differences?

Uhhh you never made a point, you’re just full of the same tired strawmen, red herrings and failed miserable NEA tripe.

You didn’t answer my question: how do you justify teaching creationism/ID as “science” in public schools, but not astrology?

Why is one acceptable, and the other (presumably) not?
