Re: Bill Nye the Science Guy to debate Creation museum founder Ken Ham[W:164]
1)You don't know what evolution is so you're not qualified to say where evolution is or isn't proven.[/quote]
I know quite well what it is. I also know it's not provable beyond a reasonable doubt.
In my mind until evolution or any other scientific theory if the creation of the world can be proven, both should be discussed and neither should be promoted over any other.
Honestly, I believe that decision should be left up to the local school board, as should all educational decisions. Then again I will hone - school any child I ever have so things like this aren't an issue.

2)If the debate were merely between a position of faith and one of science, then you might have a point. However, it's far from that innocuous as those in favor of creationism want it taught as a valid scientific theory alongside evolution in science classes.

This is the prize that creationists are striving for, so they really do in fact have to show that creationism has a legitimate place in science, not merely that it's based on faith, and that is why your scenario is a fantasy.
