"We must not teach lies, just as we must not teach evil in the place of good and ugliness in the place of beauty."

Actually this is kind of refreshing in contrast to mewling American creationists who whine like liberal intellectual relativists/nihilists about "fairness," "balance" and teaching "both sides". I mean the guy is an idiot, but at least he has the courage of his convictions; and however preposterous his claims, he's at least willing to follow them to their obvious and logical conclusions.

If you genuinely believe evolution is a "lie" and/or pseudoscience, then of course it follows that you should advocate its exclusion from science curricula. But here, on these very threads, we have creationists baldly assert that evolution is a lie, but insist they wouldn't think of banning it and only want to "balance" it with creationism or ID.

They take the position that idea "A" is utterly lacking in merit, and indeed is thoroughly invidious, and that idea "B" is both true and socially beneficent, but want both taught as equally valid!

It is also refreshing that more scientists are coming forward and finally being honest about the problem Darwinian evolution presents.
