Fear is not always a bad thing. It plays an important role in our evolution as a species. Evolution, BTW, is a fact of Science.
As Bill Nye says, there’s no reason to doubt it. None. And there certainly isn’t any reason to teach your kids Creationism as a valid theory in its place. Creationism is not Science. It doesn’t propose testable hypotheses. It simply tells you what is supposed to have happened and then tells you, “Believe this, or else.” I agree with Nye that one of the worst things you can do to your kids is to teach them that Creationism explains how we got here.
But fear is not always a good thing, either. Erick Erickson (more…)
