Children have faith in what they are told by adults, to abuse this position to convert or bring a child to believe in the same religion you do is not on IMO.
Ok, No its not strange. Faith dominates Science. In the end science is made by man using natural resources and methods in order to find out more about the world around us. If you think there is a god, a higher power, that that automatically overrules anything man can say.
What creationists do not understand is that many of us do not have this faith. If you do not have this faith than EVERYTHING the bible says does not effect us. Anything to do with faith we do not have. So the bible, genesis is nothing but a story to us.
Do we believe the story or do we believe evolution that has science and proof behind it? Darwin looked at what he saw around him, In Humans, In Animals in the enviroment. Since then more and more evidence comes forward which proves it. You can see it yourself, its around you all the time. Viruses evolve, the enviroment changes.hat.
Also, Lets get past the idea that (only) some religions try to tell us. Evolution is not animals changing to meet the enviroment, its animals becoming weaker and dying because of the enviroment and only those who survive live on. Humans became more and more like we are today because we were best at living, we have the brain power and our hands to make and use tools which give us an advantage. This meant we were better at hunting, getting food and staying alive.
Removing the element of faith, what advantages does Creationism have over Evolution that deems it worthy of equal mention in teaching

one word - perspective, in my opinion a person should not ridicule what they don't believe in, just stating your own belief should be enough, why comment on others
