Wrong - the Supreme Court has ruled that religious ideas can be discussed through world religion classes or in the course of world history study - and that religious based books(like the Bible) can be presented as literature.

God does not lie and He wrote the Holy Bible. So, Creationism is obviously the only and true explanation as to how the Earth and human beings were created. Plus, more people believe in Creationism than in Evolution anyway.

No, about 44% of Americans do--and that's the highest percentage of any advanced country. It's a disgrace that so many Americans believe in that BS, but w/e.

Stone v. Graham

School District of Abington Township, Pennsylvania v. Schempp
World religion classes by definition would have to discuss world religions. No biggie there.

The bible as literature is tantamount to the bible as fiction - no argument there either.

The bible as fact in a science class? Big argument - BIG!
