Yes, exactly. I don't have a beef against all religion, as the fact is that the vast majority of people raised with religion are not zealots out to drag us all back to some neo-dark ages, like the bloody Taliban, or in a slightly less drastic way the Xtian fundies.

I concede that there is a possibility that we are the product of some other creature's doing. The universe is chock full of recursive, scalar patterns... physics creates the same pattern in the pinwheel of a galaxy, a hurricane, and the water going down a drain, for example.

The fact that we humans exist, and have developed the capability to mold our environment, build things, even tinker with our own DNA actually is a point the 'creationists' can employ in their argument... if we are so talented, who's to say there isn't some older race of being out there who had a hand in our world?

That said, creationism does not belong in the science classroom, of this I am absolutely sure.
