As a professional biologist, I'm alarmed that a course in creationism will be offered as science in McCook (McCook Daily Gazette, Mar 28.). Creationism is religious apologetics, not science.

It relies on common sense and rationalizing, not creating and testing hypotheses.

Creationist writings are found in religious publications, not in scientific literature. Students of such a course will  be seriously misled as to the nature of science.
