Those who have food fights over Creationism, ID and evolution are missing a big point, which is: How little anyone really knows. We are smaller than a speck of dust in the universe, and profoundly ignorant.

It seems the public schools are designed to limit the imagination.

We are smaller than a speck of dust in the universe, and profoundly ignorant

But many of us believe that science is our best method of combating that ignorance. What would you have us do instead? Tea leaves? Or as Heinlein put it:

What are the facts? Again and again and again - what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what 'the stars foretell,' avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable 'verdict of history' - what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue. Get the facts!

Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love, 1973

Science (in this case, biology always admits where it "doesnt" know. Religion, OTOH, knows all.
