Christians: Why does the answer have to be god?

I won't let it go and I do care. I care that it gets peddled as a legitimate theory to the unsuspecting. If they kept their crazy shit to themselves then fine, but they absolutely don't. It's not a valid theory of the origin of the Universe, not one bit and it should be fucking outlawed if we want to progress as a species.

Just to be clear, are you saying you think it should be illegal for people to share their beliefs about creationism?

In a word, yes. Thankfully in the UK, it was banned from being taught in 'free schools' (they should be wiped out as well in my opinion).

From a news article some years back.

Creationism, intelligent design and other theories that contradict evolution are to be banned from being taught as science in free schools.

Critics have warned that evangelical groups will be able to teach such ideas without interference, as free schools will not have to follow the national curriculum.

But now the Department for Children, Education and Schools has issued guidance explicitly stating that teaching such theories as science will not be allowed.

The "minimum requirements" guidance, published earlier this week, reads: "Creationism, intelligent design and similar ideas must not be taught as valid scientific theories."

The guidance is to help those assessing applications for free schools.

More than 300 groups have already applied to set up free schools, including one by the Everyday Champions Church in Newark, Notts., which wants to include creationism as part of the national curriculum.

In January Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, said applications from creationist groups would be considered on a case-by-case basis.

That prompted a letter from the British Centre for Science Education (BCSE), which warned that creationists intended to use free schools to launch a "concerted attack" on science education.

And in June last year..

The United Kingdom government has banned the teaching of creationism as a scientific theory in free schools and academies, which are the equivalent of a 'public' school in the United States. The move was done in the interests of having a "broad and balanced curriculum," according to UPI.

The remarkable decision was part of a document published on June 9th that laid out new clauses for church academies and stated that creationism is not widely accepted as a scientific theory.
