The question was "Should evolution or magical creationism or both be taught in a biology classroom."
A Christian creationist asshole wrote this moronic bullshit. This is just one example. There are millions of these fucking morons in Idiot America.

Present the evidence for both sides and let the informed students decide which they believe.
I believe the overwhelming evidence indicates there must be a Creator, but some uninformed or biased individuals deny that such evidence exists.
Either they have never seen the evidence, or they don't want to see it, but that does not mean it doesn't exist!
If you only present the data that supports one side of a view, then that is not truly providing education!

"Creation science has not entered the curriculum for a reason so simple and so basic that we often forget to mention it: because it is false, and because good teachers understand exactly why it is false. What could be more destructive of that most fragile yet most precious commodity in our entire intellectual heritage -- good teaching -- than a bill forcing honorable teachers to sully their sacred trust by granting equal treatment to a doctrine not only known to be false, but calculated to undermine any general understanding of science as an enterprise?"
-- Stephen Jay Gould
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
