Why is this so freakin' hard? Some scientists believe every living thing including molecular machines evolved from a single cell. Other scientists are less credulous and ask tough questions. Practicing skepticism is also science. Why can't classrooms teach that some scientists believe in evolution and here's why... and other scientists doubt the existing theory can account for much of our experience and here's why?...

Why is that so freakin' impossible in this country?

Easy answer: the people who in the 60's and 70's asked you and me to be "open-minded" have taken control over culture, courts and public discourse, and now demand that the views of the Right (which in their minds include the 'Religious Crowd') are not to be heard.

According to the Left:
1. Thou shalt not speak of God
2. Thou shalt not speak of anything remotely religious
3. If it has ANYTHING to do with a Public Place, a Government function, Public Education, or the like You'd better DA__ well make sure you don't violate rules 1 and 2.

I would be for that. Present both sides! The student will naturally gravitate towards his own predispositions anyways. But at least both theories will be on the table for discussion.

Makes a lot of sense. But then again, I also thought teaching sex education AND abstinence was a good idea...
