To: Always Right
Being your "Always Right" please ignore the following FACTS:


Evolution is a vital, well-supported, unifying principle of the biological sciences, and the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of the idea that all living things share a common ancestry. Although there are legitimate debates about the patterns and processes of evolution, there is no serious scientific doubt that evolution occurred or that natural selection is a major mechanism in its occurrence. It is scientifically inappropriate and pedagogically irresponsible for creationist pseudoscience, including but not limited to "intelligent design," to be introduced into the science curricula of our nation's public schools.

Where do I say they should be. My position is not to have intelligent design in the classroom, but to teach evolution in a way that does not assult the religous beliefs of others. What is so hard about that?

And yet, we are having this discussion.

I think evolutionists are pissed becaused many traditional Americans just don't see things their way. Many creationists are pissed because evolution is constantly being used as a bludgeon against Christianty and then they are told to put up and shut up because it's science.

The oddest thing about creationism is that to accept it, you can't believe a dog and a cat are more closely related than a dog and a boa constrictor.
