and yes creationism is being studied as a science. it is presented as "Intelligent design".
Presenting Creationism with a different name does not make it something different. It is still myth, not science, and trying to study myth with science or as if it is science doesn't magically give it a free changeover to the realm of science.
the reason most people dont know this is that the people doing this are being silenced by close minded people.
First off, trying to present religion as something else is dishonest, so I should hope that people (closed-minded or not) are discouraging them from such a dishonest endeavor.
Second, from what I've seen, a lot of supporters of science are trying hard to make sure the public knows that "intelligent design" is just repackaged Creationism. Do you mean that the religious people (the closed-minded people in this potential explanation for what you said) are trying to keep it quiet that they are just renaming Creationism? I can see them wanting to keep that quiet.
In fact, why do they call it intelligent design? There's a lot of things about the design of humans, nature, reality that are unintelligent at best.
The mention of the possibility of the subject in some universities could get a professor fired.
I should hope so. Trying to teach religion in school is no joke, and maximum disciplinary measures should be taken.
