There was an interesting thing on the history channel about Dragons and how you would have explained dragons.

was part of that being that a cowboy shot one down 120 or so year ago and using beowulf as factual evidence?

It wasn't ancient aliens.
It was interesting, it basically talked about what it was like for someone who didn't have comprehension of what fossils were and that dinosaurs were extinct, etc. And how something like a dragon could be used to explain earthquakes, volcano's etc. Also partially explains the issues you have with various dragon depictions (like CHinese dragons being different than European dragons) It was interesting actually. Of course before that special they showed the Ancient Aliens special on Dragons which makes me lol.

It would have if Government bureaucrats didn't give rights to those talking animals.

I always assumed it was based on a true story. The more you know.

Hold your tongue.
That's always fun speculation. One of my favorites along that vein is the explanation of Mediterranean cyclops mythologies through the prevalence of dwarf elephant fossils across the panoply of small Mediterranean islands—which lent themselves to patterns of island-dwarfism—largely "because the center nasal opening was thought to be a cyclopic eye socket."

according to Ham
Christianity is the only religion that has the story of how the world was created
seriously
side note: none of them should be taught to kids

He's just brainwashed. It's almost not his fault. It is legitimate brainwashing.

A mythology class or a world religions class would be just fine. That **** is fascinating, but it doesn't belong in science classes.
The thing is if you taught creationism and intelligent design, you'd have to teach about every religion and culture's idea of how the world began to be objective.

That's why the Fundamentalists are shooting themselves in the foot on this one, as usual.

Right, because if everyone heard the history of all the religions that have existed, and all their origins and stories and everything about them, a lot of them who grew up christian and aren't ingrained to the max, will jump ship. Then they'd just have the old people, and drug addicts.
I think an overall religion class and the effects it has/has had on the world would be great for learning and how things came to be the way they are. But, it's something to learn from, not continue.
