So Atheists: If we want to teach Creationism alongside your Evolution, how can it hurt by giving kids a choice?

Because evolution is based on sound science (it is not a religion), while creationism is a big scam feeding of the less than intelligent and the religiously deluded who can't accept that their world view is wrong. Having read several creationist science papers, they tend to break down into four types. The first is rare, they are valid science papers with an irrelevant aside referencing creationism in some way.

One example was on how an artificial intelligence system designed to do one job is not so good as doing another, with an aside about the beliefs of the author. I believe that was by WLC himself. The are second also not common, but are valid papers that appear to have been written for the deliberate purpose of being dishonestly used by creationists.

For example on the slow production rate of a certain protein that was later used to demonstrate this protein could not develop naturally. There are other, quicker processes that produce the same protein, which the paper never mentioned. The third, and most common are just bad science.

The one where the probability of several thousand atoms randomly forming a specific molecule by random chance is the classic example, not only is evolution not pure random chance, but the mathematics ignored the science of Chemistry completely. The fourth are not even science, but are also rare. One I saw was a paper with over 80 references to names such as Einstein and Bohr, all irrelevant to the idea of the multiverse.

The actual part of the paper were the science normally goes was devoid of any science, it was just the opinion of the author. But eh, 80 references from the likes of Einstein. Laughably there is a fifth category that is technically not creationist in origin.

These are valid science papers supporting evolution that are put forward as evidence against evolution, but this tends to be done by the dishonest, or the stupid who don't actually read science papers. If you are science literate it is worth looking at the papers, and even if you are not, it is sometimes worth looking at the conclusions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
