Ugh. Well, the sociological phenomenon of the
"creation science" movement is certainly a legitimate
topic. But let's not ask about the system itself unless
we're also putting in questions on the deep technical
workings of alchemy, flat-earthism, epicycles, curing
disease through bloodletting, and getting rich via the
tooth fairy.

And before the usual suspects get
all hot and bothered, this isn't an attack on the
validity of religion. It's an attack on labeling religion
as science. One should be able to see that the two
are DIFFERENT without having to address the truth of
any particular belief.
