And it derives from creationists' attempts to get creationism injected into science curricula by force of law. The traditional manner by which theories wind up in science classes is by getting published in scientific journals, and eventually winding up in the common pool of accepted scientific doctrine. It would be a shame, though, to leave creationism out of any course in comparative religion or literature on cosmogeny. But let's move this to net.origins if there's any more to say. -- *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 18 Jan 85 [29 Nivose An CXCIII] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-7188 ** ** ** ** ..ihnp4!iwsl8!ken *** ***
