Creationists aren’t doing any damage.

What planet did you arrive from? Please tell me how replacing science with superstition is going to make our schools better.

“Please tell me how replacing science with superstition is going to make our schools better....”

And what’s this “superstition” you are referring to?

I think your thinking is a little bit too black and white. Are you suggesting that there are not legitimate questions about some god’s role in the creation of the universe, or that there are not legitimate reasons to teach the Bible even if it isn’t factually true when interpreted in the most literal sense?

May I suggest that you give the Bible a little more credit.

"Please tell me how replacing science with superstition is going to make our schools better."

What they've done is replace science, and facts, with evolution, which is worse than superstition; its mendacious and racist.

Hey Mo Ron,
What is scientific about a “BIG BANG”.
To believe that everything in the universe, and the teeming life on earth, arose from almost nothing takes faith. So get off with your little arrogant self. You are an evolutionists and you believe that life came from dead matter. You have never seen it happen and can’t prove it. You are a great man of faith! Your belief in evolution THEORY is superstition that stands in the place of knowledge. So get off of of your uppity “scientific” self. Ok? Thank you.

Our schools have been consistently doing worse for all the decades that evolution has replaced creation.

At this point, creation is virtually untaught in public schools unless some Biology teacher covers it anyway.

It’s mostly taught in private schools and homeschools alongside evolution.

Now, not only have the public schools continued to decline in the hard sciences in those same decades in spite of the virtual monopoly evolution has enjoyed; but private school and homeschool test scores for standardized tests and SAT/ACT tests have consistently been higher than public school scores. All this with the teaching of creation alongside evolution.

Now, somehow you’re in a position of demonstrating that teaching of creation is going to harm public education and performance in the science area.

Go ahead.

You first- tell us how the recent decades of teaching evolution have improved our steadily slipping academic programs.

At least when the Bible was allowed in schools, kids learned morals. (And how to read, write, think, debate, do long division etc., etc.)

I guess you are referring to Christianity as “superstition.”

The children of “superstitious” parents who are in the “superstition” schools or home “superstition” schools are generally doing much, much better on college entrance exams and in many other areas those in the government-funded Darwinian schools. So there is something to be said for the “superstitious” if you want a society that can read better and cipher better.
