HALF of all Americans either don't know or don't believe that living creatures evolved. And now a Pennsylvania school board is trying to keep its pupils ignorant. It is the kind of story about America that makes secular Europeans chortle smugly before turning to the horoscope page. Yet it is more complex than it appears.

Allowing no questioning of this sacred theory is not keeping people ignorant? Who gives a flying flip what Eurropeans think? I sure don't. Europe is a land of feminized androgenous automatons - the whole continent smells like estrogen.

Eleven parents, backed by the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State, two lobby groups, are suing to have the disclaimer dropped. Intelligent design, they say, is merely a clever repackaging of creationism, and as such belongs in a sermon, not a science class.

ACLU - the anti-American communist lawyer group that defends pedophiles and uses a legal form of extortion to get its way. Their involvement alone is enough reason to fight for the disclaimer!

Mr Miller is a practising Roman Catholic.

haha. So? Barry Lynn of Americans United is a reverend (cough, choke), and he never misses an opportunity to work against the acknowledgement of God in the public square.

The government has no business telling communities what to teach in their schools. I realize that evolution and communism fit together like a hand in a glove, but this is America, not the Soviet Union.

Exellent point. Why don't we let Scientists decide what is taught in Science class?

And you, sir, are as handsome as you are intelligent.

So you think it's generally grade school and high school students who develop, replace and refine scientific theories?
