1.   "creation science" makes some claims that lie
     outside the purview of science and other claims
     which have been rejected as unsupported by the
     scientific evidence; it therefore has no place in
     the science curriculum;
2.   the scientific evidence for evolution is
     overwhelming, although (as with all scientific
     theories) the theory of evolution continues to be
     revised in light of newly acquired evidence;
3.   the teaching of biology without evolution is akin
     to teaching chemistry without atomic theory,
     physics without gravitation, or earth science
     without plate tectonics; and in short, teaching
     biology without evolution is educational
     malpractice;
4.   those who claim that "evolution is only a theory"
     and that other "theories" such as creationism
     should receive equal time do not understand the use
     of the term theory in its scientific sense;
5.   religious dogma is an inappropriate criterion for
     the determination of curriculum in public schools;
     and
6.   the Supreme Court has prohibited the mandated
     teaching of creationism in public schools, even
     when evolution is taught.
