Why do people laugh at creationists?
Ben Stein is an idiot who says we need to support "Academic Freedom," which I agree, we do. You can believe anything you want. However, science is NOT about beliefs. By definition science uses UNBIASED methods to explain natural phenomena. The second you bring your personal beliefs into the science classroom and design experiments that can only support your beliefs, you are not performing science and it is wrong. Science uses natural explanations to explain the world, religion uses supernatural explanations. They are separate and unique and there should be no debate about which is better.
