Agreed. "Creationism" is hardly innovative religious thinking, of course. It is, however, an abominable movement to interpose this religious point of view in public schools under the fallacious notion that it represents an "alternative [scientific] theory" to Evolution. And it is duplicitous that "religion" likes to maintain the notion of the "separation of Church and State" when it comes to issues like taxation, they are all for "inclusion" when it comes to public funding of busing for religious school students; intervening directly in politics; supporting prayer in schools; and Creationism. Of course, not all Christian sects hold with these positions. I find it interesting that these same groups (notably Evangelicals) don't mind commingling with Government, yet condemn Islam and Sharia Law for the same behavior. Maybe I misunderstand.

The Right (and Religious Right) are often labeled as anti-Science. To some extent (with the Religious Right) there is some truth. But I don't think it is quit so decisive. In fact, good arguments have been made showing that segments of the Left have crippled scientific inquiry:
