"Note: Just to let you it is not that we don't believe in things like that, it is just misslead when you talk about it being billions of years old, when we all know that the world is only about 6,000 years old. So why would I pay so that you can mislead my children, your world is just a revolving(?), ours has a start and an end. God created the world. He created animals and man all in the same week. It was also Adam who named all the animals, they will do the essay 'Rock and Minerals' but it might not be 5 pages long, and about billions of years, it will be according to the Bible."
I found this note on PZ Myers' blog Pharyngula. I know in this country we are "free" to "believe" any way we choose, but, intentionally misleading your children and ignoring rational science, that is not in dispute, unless you attend a Baptist or Evangelical church, is dangerous for the child and the country.
