[Taliesan]

The "theory" of evolution is a political tool and not the basis for any scientific discipline. There is a reason for teaching impressionable young people to accept a rigid dogma such as the evolutionary twaddle introduced to students in biology classes in jr.high school. That reason is to get young people used to the idea of being told what to think instead of leading them into learning how to think.

This is not true. The people who teach evolution really believe it. It doesn't help your case to overstate it, or impugn the motives of your opponents.

[The people who teach evolution really believe it]

No, not all of them do. You would be hard pressed to find many jr.high biology teachers who believe what they're teaching as introductory evolutionary dogma. The people who are isnisting that it be part of a curriculum which isn't even at a level to introduce such ideas believe only in preserving their own positions in administration.

The academecians who believe this sort of thing are far distanced from our children in public schools and have nothing to do with teaching it at that level. It isn't overstating the case to say this at all.
