I didn't ever claim anyone here said that. I used it as an example of something I would oppose as indoctrination. And yes, there are people who tell this to their children.
I also said it's "the psychological equivalent." And as a threat, its scope is greater than physical bodily harm.
Also, really... you want me to explain why creationism is not a science? I shouldn't have to provide definitions for common English words at risk of being accused of some kind of academic dishonesty.
Here, from Wikipedia, just for definition's sake: Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
Creationism is not based on testable explanation and predictions, it is the doctrinal belief that life and the universe were created by God or a higher power. This is an inherently untestable claim.
