In 2004, Georgia's school superintendent proposed a statewide science curriculum that dropped the word “evolution” in favour of “changes over time.” That plan was soon scrapped amid protests from teachers.

I'm an IDr myself, and I don't see a problem with the stickers, either. They should've been left in place. I fail to see how mentioning that evolution is a theory and not a proven fact is somehow a violation of separation of church and state (unless yoou're a member of the Church of Evolution is an Indisputable Fact). But this is kinda dumb. A duck is a duck and I'm going to call it a duck. It's called Theory of Evolution. Calling it by its name doesn't mean you have to believe in it.

As long as the sticker includes the SCIENTIFIC definiton of a theory, I wouldn't have a problem with the stickers either.

So you want this kind of a sticker for gravity, astronomy, and how many other sciences?

Just so folks don't go getting the notion that any of them are "theory and not proven fact"??

I'm not an ID-er, and I agree, on one condition: That the names of *all* the elected public officials responsible for the stickers be printed on them.
