So Bobby Jindal just came out in favor of teaching creation "theories" in schools. He basically says he is OK with teaching creationism in public schools as long as a local school board OK's it. He goes on to say that the state is committed to National Academic Standards and as long as schools teach evolution they should also be allowed to teach other "theories". He stated "what are we scared of?....give students critical thinking skills."
So since creationism is a "theory" and he used the plural for theory, it seems Bobby wants all creation "theories" taught, of course as long a local school boards OK it.
So pick which ones we should teach. Here is a list of just some of the "theories" we can now add to science classes.
Creation from Chaos Theory
Cheonjiwang Bonpuli- the Korean creation theory
Enuma Elis- Babylonian creation theory
Greek Cosmological theory
Jamshid- Persian creation theory
Kumulipo- Hawaiian creation theory
Mande- Mande creation theory
Pangu- Chinese creation theory
Sumerian creation theory
Tungusic- Siberian creation theory
Unkulunkulu- Zulu creation theory
Vainamoinen- Finnish creation theory
Ex Nihilo (out of nothing) Creation Theory
the Debate between sheep and grain- Sumerian creation theory
the Barton Cylinder- Sumerian creation theory
Ancient Egyptian creation theory
Genesis creation theory
Islamic creation theory
Kabezya Mpongu- Bantu creation theory
Maori creation theory
Popol Vu- Mesoamerican creation theory
Rangi and Papa- South Islander creation theory
Of course there are many more creation 'theories' that we could add, many Native American tribes have their own creation 'theories' those also should be taught to give all students "critical thinking skills".
We cannot avoid teaching them all because all students need to know all the 'theories' to think critically in our world today. Please do not leave out any of the 'theories', that would leave students without all the knowledge they need on creationism in order for them to "think critically".
