You ever noticed how people who believe in Creationism look really unevolved? You ever noticed that? Eyes real close together, eyebrow ridges, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day" Yeah, looks like He rushed it.

This book is not presenting creationism in any form as a scientifically credible view.

Even a really bad creator would at least have started with Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Surprise.

This is neo-creationism, trying to avoid the legal morass of trying to teach creationism overtly and slip it in through the backdoor.

Make no mistake [board members] knew intelligent design was a form of creationism when they added it to the curriculum.

The debate that has been conducted in terms of "creation versus evolution" has gotten caught up with all kinds of other debates, and this has provided a singularly unhelpful backdrop to the would-be serious discussion of other parts of the Bible.
