6. Eradicating creationism makes no sense. The concept of creationsim is not the problem.
Throughout human history, various religious beliefs and superstitions have existed despite physical evidence to the contrary or, at the very least, scant supporting evidence for these beliefs. It is human nature to take comfort in believing in divine beings. This is not a problem until those who profit or derive power from religion decide to attempt to mute science. The people who are attempting to cram creationism into the realm of science need to be relentlessly shown to be mere power mongers operating only in their personal best interest.

Even discussions of "eradicating creationism" are contrary to the foundation of this country.
