You are leaving out half of the content of the sticker, and most of the content of what I said.

And what business is it of a federal court as to what the content of a sticker is? The only jurisdiction under which the federal court is supposedly invovled in this matter is due to some sort of congressional law establishing a religion or prohibiting the free exercise of religion. Name the religion.

Christianity, in this case. The purpose of those stickers was to try to discredit a valid scientific theory, leaving the way open to introduce creationism into the classroom as an alternative "theory". The proponents of putting the stickers on the books in the first place said as much.

I have no problem with religion being taught in school. I'm not talking about religious indoctrination, but teaching information about the various religions in the world, including Christianity. Kids should know more about our own culture, and it's roots in Christianity. They should also know about other cultures, and their religions as well. I have a problem with it in science class. It is not science, and does not belong there.

The Rev. Moon's Unification Church Has big bucks invested in this.
