The concept of a creation myth is not what we are debating. We are debating the modern teleological intelligent design argument, stemming from the late 20th and 21st century movements sometimes associated with young-earth creationists actively seeking to change the basis of science and invalidate evolution as a reactionary measure against a tide of science that to some, seem incompatible with the tenets of their rigid beliefs...and then the efforts of that movement to first remove evolution from school curriculums entirely and then later to positioning intelligent design as an equal and valid theory that must be taught alongside evolution as an alternative.
