More details from petition creator

In opposition to petitions such as those which request the removal of religious study or the teaching of Creationism in schools, we request that the Prime Minister protect, for future generations, the theory of Creation. This theory is as scientifically and philosophically viable as the Big Bang theory or the theory of Evolution and should be treated as such in schools. This would help prevent the uninformed intolerance of alternative scientific viewpoints and encourage the openness that drives scientific discovery forwards. Such an official protection would also encourage people to understand that religion is not necessarily negated by science and that following a religion does not, in itself, mean that an individual is ignorant or irrational.
