Evolution vs. Creationism

I went online yesterday and along with reading a number of different blogs about the whole evolution vs. creationism debate, I also read some recent news articles, mostly US based. The fact that some states in the US have actually gone to court and won the right to teach creation as a scientific alternative to evolution appals me. To think that the one of the richest and supposedly most developed country in the world is not accepting of evolution is shocking.

The evidence for evolution is so extraordinary and powerful, while on the other hand the evidence for creationism is completely lacking. Scientifically lacking. So why is this stupid nonsense even allowed in public schools? To accommodate the religious freaks, no doubt, who couldn't possibly deal with the fact that their religious world view could be proved erroneous.

Religious accommodation, in my opinion, has gone too far. Why don't we introduce teachers who are willing to prove to our kids that babies are brought by storks. Surely, the evidence for this is no better than that of creationism. It's just a belief based on no evidence. Taken only on faith.
I think it's high time for religious belief to stop meddling with science.
