I, too, thought this was an April Fool's joke,
but I'll still respond seriously
(inline)...

>>> But unfortunately, quiz bowl science questions
reward only those who have turned their backs on God.
Why are there no questions on the true story of
creation as told in Genesis? <<<

These are
non sequiturs. First, since evolution is a subject in
college, it's fair game for a QB question. So is fictional
literature. You don't have to believe that the events of "War
and Peace" really took place to be able to
study
it.

You should also, as a creationist, be very
keenly
aware of all of the beliefs and suppositions of
evolutionists if you want to be an
effective
debater.

Second, there's no rule against writing questions about
anything you want. The "vast Quiz Bowl conspiracy" is not
attempting to suppress creation theory. If you want to see
some QB creation questions in a tournament, then
write
some yourself and expand the
canon.

>>> Why are there no questions on those
scientists
who, attempting to justify the theories they knew were
lies, made up evidence rather than face the Truth of
God? <<<

I have heard at least two
questions on the Piltdown Man hoax, and I think I have
heard at least one about Nebraska Man and one on
Haeckel's recapitulation theory. 

I'm a Christian,
and I like QB. I don't think the two traits are
mutually exclusive. In fact, most submission tourneys
require a question or two about religion in your packet.
If you want, make it a Bible question.

As
Nate said earlier, BJU Bible trivia questions are
probably much tougher than any we see on the circuit. I
for one would like to see some
tougher
Bible.

FTPE what were the Hebrew names of Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abed-nego?
