Am I right in assuming that creationism is being advanced solely in the United States? If so, then this speaks volumes about the mentality and beliefs of a good number of senators and house representatives who influence government policies. This "theory", accepted as truth by Christian fundamentalists, would see the light of day only if it had the support of like-minded government officials. It is otherwise completely illogical that a religious belief be included for study in the science curricula of high schools in some states.
