Creationists in the Classrooms

The Creation/Evolution Controversy does not just exist on our continent.  Recently, England has seen a rise in creationism.  But it hasn't gotten as far as it has in Australia.  Queensland suffers from Fundamentalists getting into the Primary (Elementary) Schools.


They have taught the students:

1. Noah collected dinosaur eggs and put them on the ark.
2. Adam and Eve were protected by a spell from the dinosaurs.
3. The Great Flood skewed the data of carbon dating (explaining why dinosaurs only appear to be much older than people).
4. DNA wasn't invented in the time of Adam and Eve (explaining why there was no inbreeding in the beginning).

Thankfully, these were not science classes, but Religious Instruction.  The school system says that students can opt out of the classes.
Things like this highlight my opposition to Creationism.  They seem to think that they can just make stuff up to answer questions, whereas science requires observation, experimentation and data.
