Creationism Defended

There was talk at the Democratic Convention that part of the Republican Education program would be to teach Crreationism.  I found evidence, not in the Bible, that that might not be a bad idea.  I quote:  (emphasis is mine;  if you do not recognize the source, then it becomes even more critical that we teach Creationism):

     "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the the earth, the seperate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
     We hold these truths to be self-evident, tht all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
     "We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States;. . . ."
     "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance of the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

This is, of course, part of The Declaration of Independence written by that Deist (i.e. non-Christian, who took the New Testament and eliminated parts that he considered not true sayings of Jesus) Thomas Jefferson.  He obviously believed in Creation, with a Creator.  True it is not a scientist tome--but Jefferson, along with Franklin, was considered the leading intellectual and scientist of the day in the colonies, if not in the world.  Evolution is a godless discipline--requiring as much faith to accept some of its tenets as does Christianity.  They try to take the Creator out of the Creation of the world.  If we don't teach Creationism in the science classroom, we ought to teach it somewhere--history, ethics, somewhere--so we let our children know where we came from (just as evolution tries to do).  It might prevent us from making Government, or one man who runs the government from assuming he is the Creator and "creating" rights that are not part of Nature or of Nature's God.
