"The revolution in evolution has begun," said Richard Thompson, the law center's president and chief counsel.

I thought the revolution was over and Evolution was dead?

This is going to turn out just like the environmental movement. Here this lawyer is, getting money from fools that blieve in litteral translations of Genesis.

The left has an entire class of lawyers that glean money from greenies. Now the right will create another class of lawyers to decide science in court rooms.

I suppose lawyers have to make money some way.

I am Catholic and don't believe in a literal translation of Genesis (6 day creation theory), but I do believe in intelligent design - the complexity of life demands that something other than chance was at work. Statistically, the enormous number of changes required to get one species to "evolve" into another is impossible to arrive at by chance alone, and even the evolutionists will admit that they haven't found a way for the math to work, given the theory as it currently exists. Evolution is an extremely flawed theory on many different levels, and yet it is taught to children as absolute fact, with no alternative being presented at all! I am not so much concerned about the religious aspect of this as I am about the scientific ramifications - why should entire generations of children be indoctrinated with a flawed theory which is on the decline? If anything, they should be focusing on all that is wrong with evolution and discussing other explanations, not being sheltered from them. Just my $.02...

Only fools believe the Bible? Doesn't help your argument by condemning the majority of this country.

Why do you think only fools believe in the literal translation of Genesis? I am curious as to what your definition of a fool is? I see a fool as someone that opens their mouth without really spending time in critical thought, carefully studying all the possibilities and then making a decision as to what they believe. It appears you know very little about Richard Thompson or the law center he represents. Happy Hunting!
