==I don’t think it would be such a “wondrous day” if it’s decided that what’s taught in science class isn’t to come from scientists
Oh good, then I let’s let the Creation and ID scientists decide, shall we? I don’t see how that would be any different than the Temple of Darwin fanatics who have turned science into a vehicle to promote their evo-religion.
==Check with the poorer Islamic nations to see what the state of science is like with the alternative. I’d rather not copy their example.
Most Muslim countries teach evolution in the classroom. So I quite agree, the science relating to origins and diversity must really suck over there.

—You don’t see a difference between teaching - in science class - the theories that the predominate number (to say the least) of scientists believe, versus some fringe group? Really?
Is it just science class where this bizarre logic is followed? How about history class; should holocaust denial be taught just because there are some historians that believe it didn’t occur?
At that’s looking past issues like Creationism not even meeting the qualifications of a scientific theory. If science class isn’t going to be for teaching the scientific method and leading theories, than why have it at all?
“Most Muslim countries teach evolution in the classroom. “
—Not sure about most, certainly the more progressive Muslim nations do to some extent (at least at the university level) - bits and pieces are taught which won’t offend people’s religious sensibilities (e.g. human evolution is off limits). Others won’t touch the subject. Hopefully such political correctness doesn’t pervade american schools.
(In an effort to try to catch up with more advanced nations, Saudi Arabia is building a multibillion dollar university where religious censors will effectively be barred and thus science and technology will be free to flourish.)

—Compared to what?
There is no such thing as a Cretion or ID “scientist.”
