 Creationism: the biblical myth that the universe was created by the Judeo-Christian God in 7 days. |
Kurt Zimmerman is complaining that a science textbook used to educate children in his home state of Tennessee (wait, TN is populated with religious nuts, who knew?) contains the above quoted text. I guess that it is the word "myth" that's got him all riled up. I wonder if Mr. Zimmerman would be concerned if a similar science textbook described the Norse account of creation as a myth? Get over yourself Mr. Zimmerman, or present some solid evidential support that you are not deluded by myth. This is a science class, not Sunday School. According to this source :Zimmerman asked in December that the school immediately quit using the book 'Asking About Life' in his son's class and all classes. He said it could "mislead, belittle and discourage students in believing in creationism and pointedly calls the Bible a myth." Anything that belittles or discourages students from believing in creationism is to be applauded. Zimmerman is not even wrong. |
