Shifting gears from space momentarily, I wholeheartedly agree with Paul Orwin’s post about discussing creationism in science class.

This actually can be a good thing, as he points out, as a “teachable moment,” by taking the opportunity to point out, not necessarily that it’s wrong, or untrue, but that it’s not science. As I’ve said before, I have no objections to creationism being taught, as long as it’s not taught in a science class. And it can even be discussed in a science class, as long as it’s not taught there.
