Bill Nye recently addressed the nation in a brief video called “Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children.” And it’s rather disappointing to have everyone’s favorite scientist from our childhood years insult a rather large proportion of our society. What’s more disappointing is…
Well, here’s the thing.
Creationism is wrong. It is incredibly wrong. It is one of the most ignorant, uneducated, wrongest wrong that you can be wrong about.
And you may think I’m being closed minded or mean. No, I’m actually just stating facts. There is nothing whatsoever correct about creationism. Nothing. There is no debate. It’s not a matter of belief. It’s simply a matter of looking at the mountains of overwhelming evidence for evolution and looking at the pure non-science and opinions of creationism and saying that you accept the vast, vast, vast preponderance of evidence.
And it’s absolutely true that you can believe what you want to believe. You have the right to be horribly wrong. But I really think it sucks if you insist that your children should be taught to be horribly wrong too.
