I just dont understand why its so hard for school boards to allow one simple disclaimer to teaching evolution. Some people believe in intelligent design, its not difficult and it doesnt undermine the teaching of the THEORY of evolution.

Rather than preface teaching the theory of evolution with a disclaimer that "this theory is a theory" it might be easier to each kids that all scientific output is theory. Gravity, electrons, etc. is all theory. A thorough grounding in the scientific method should serve to fix this "theory" complaint.

Hey, maybe that's something the ID folks maybe could learn too!

(Nah, its been tried.)

But it's "JUST a THEORY" . Some folks around here really need to read this.
