I don't have the time or inclination to get into a large debate over the merits of evolutionary theory at the moment.

So you just thought it would be nice to come an spit some raspberries at those who do on a forum created to encourage debate?

My point, which I trust I made, is that there are legitimate criticisms of evolution, and that it should be examined critically... which is exactly what these stickers call for. And that to claim that the stickers constitute an unconstitutional "establishment of religion" is absurd on its face.

I presume you won't mind, then, if we put the same stickers on every science textbook, since there are legitimate criticisms concerning every natural science. I presume you also won't mind if scientists enter the history classrooms, to place a similar warning sticker about the Bible on any textbook that discusses Western religious history.

Go nuts... in a thread about the merits of evolution. This one is about a court case in which certain people who elevate evolution itself to a religion are attempting to have it declared unconstitutional to question it.

Whether I would mind it or not has nothing to do with whether I believe it would be unconstitutional to do so... which, as a matter of fact, I do not.

I presume you also won't mind if scientists enter the history classrooms, to place a similar warning sticker about the Bible on any textbook that discusses Western religious history.

Once again you seem to have mistaken me for somebody who believes the Bible is something more than a work of fiction... but once again, no, I do not believe that stickers warning to approach the material in the Bible or any other book with an open mind are unconstitutional.
