    One of the problems I have with creationism being taught in public
schools is the batting average of creationism's proponents.  If today's
astronomy was the same as in Galileo's time, you can bet the creationists
would want the Geocentric model of the solar system taught alongside the
Heliocentric model.  Of course, they admit when they are wrong.  Galileo was
found innocent of heresy just a couple of years ago.
