The hand-wringing over this matter puzzles me considering how clear-minded most FR posters are on other issues.
"Higher" education and science have spent the better part of the last half-century dedicating themselves to, if you will, a Secular Jihad.
Underlying that agenda is a no holds barred effort to undermine the precepts of Christianity and its teachings -- the very fundaments that led to the ascendency of the United States of America.
One can ask for no clearer evidence of this campaign than the war on Creationism. It absolutely befuddles me that people who call themselves conservatives sleep with the sworn enemies of Christianity.
I'm NOT an America-basher, otherwise the typo here would be well-nigh irresistable bait...:-)
