With deep respect for everyone's religious opinions, I ask you to please consider that this thread was not posted in the Religion Forum. It was intended for a discussion of the scientific, political, and legal issues in the lead article. If you want to discuss theology, which is certainly a worthy topic for discussion, then as a courtesy to those who prefer to discuss the secular issues, I urge you to start a new thread in the Religion Forum, which this website provides for that purpose. Thank you.

It's all religion all the time for a large minority here.

Reckon you're entitled to urge any mention of God's scientific work into some corner while you and your cheerleaders spout your own philosophical, political, and scientific predilections ad nauseam. Surely there ought to be laws - federal, state, local, and on this forum - to allow your ideas to go unchallenged under any circumstances.

Patrick,

This article is about Judge Jones' opinion about evolution in a SCHOOL. The reason it is such a hot button topic is that evolution and intelligent design have profound religious, political, and cultural consequences for all students who would be FORCED to be exposed to it.
