Since you are in the irrational lash-out mode I doubt that any of the following will get through to you (it didn't the last umpteen times I posted it);
1) I am a devout Catholic. I believe that God created the entire universe and everything in it.
2) I believe that, as eloquently stated by Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) that science and theology are compatible and that the bible tells us THAT God created the universe, it does not seek to tell us HOW.
3) God used all of the science He created in the process of creation including using evolution and natural selection in the process of introducing life into the dynamic universe He created.
4) I believe that man is different from the rest of the animals kingdom because we have souls.
5) I am a life long conservative Republican who did not vote for Nixon's reelection because he was too liberal.
6) I educated my children in parochial schools because I do not agree with the curriculum of the public schools. I am not content to simply bitch about what was being taught to my children. If you have a problem with what is being taught keep your kids out and take it up with your dumbass neighbors who continue to elect the liberal school board, local, state, and federal officials.
7) If you believe it is OK to teach Christian creation in schools if a majority of the people in a district happen to be Christian then you shouldn't be surprised when something else is taught when a majority believe differently (such as secularism, Hinduism, Islam, atheism, etc.)
8) It is just plain stupid or ignorant to categorically refer to a group called "evo's" as some sort of homogeneous conspiracy.
But you don't know that God did it that way because no one was there to see it AND, He didn't say that He did it that way in Genesis. To claim that God used evolution in the process of introducing life into the universe, you have to ignore or explain away the verses in Genesis where it specifically says that God used the *dust of the earth* to create animals and man. When He created Eve and used a different process, (the rib of Adam) He specifically said so. He obviously took care to let us know what He did.

When the majority of the parents want creation and ID taught along with evolution in the public schools, explain to me why the minority of evolution only should have their way and the majority who are litigated into silence have to go to the trouble of providing for their own child's education at their own additional expense, all the while paying for the minorities, who forced what they want on everyone else?
Why doesn't the minority who doesn't want creation and ID to be taught be the ones to bear the expense of educating their own children the way they want?
Why do you approve of the use of litigation to force one view and one only on the unwilling majority and make them be the ones to pay twice for their child's education?
What's wrong with the idea that the people who don't want their kids to hear about creation and ID, opt out instead? Why don't they go that route? Why sue to force competing ideas out?

No, I wouldn't be surprised, but control of the local schools belongs in the hands of the local parents. Such is the hazard of living in a country which has a Constitution which guarantees the free exercise of religion.
I have no use for islam and don't wish to see it present at all in this country. However, if you can justify restricting it, you can justify restricting Christianity, or Catholicism, or any other religion that Congress is prohibited from making a law preventing the free exercise of.

Likewise, it is just plain stupid or ignorant to categorically refer to a group called "evo's" YECers, or cretards, or IDiots, etc as some sort of homogeneous conspiracy.
It works both ways.
So, what would you have someone call someone else who believes in evoltion? Do you have some other moniker which would be acceptable?
