As a child I went to private schools that taught creationism. I can't speak for how creationism is taught in other schools, but in the schools I attended it was nothing but a complete denial of science. It took me a while to figure that one out. Science fits together. When you deny the existence of biological evolution, decide the earth is under 10,000 years old, and say there is no such thing as the big bang, you end up with huge gaps in the scientific explanation of the universe. Once you do this, the world and the universe it sits in transforms from a place of logic and explainable order to one of superstition and chaos. If the earth is 10,000 years old, how is the Milky Way galaxy 100,000 light years in diameter? If there is no biological evolution, is genetic science a pseudo-science? Creationism taught in others ways is little better. This type of thinking destroys IQs.
