Shut up, George. Since the majority of Americans (those of us outside the northest, who weren't educated in the Ivy League universities, and who don't live in DC) don't - believe - in - evolution.

So science should be determined by polls. If a majority of Americans believed in astrology, should it be taught in schools as science?

It might offend the Jetsons, you know. Rey right rot rike rit rery ruch.

Since my sign's characteristics are totally opposite of what I am, I've never considered it as valid.

Sidereal astrology has more scientific merit than the theory of evolution.

What I am saying is that the only people who get all riled up about whether there is a sticker in a science book stating that there are few things about the evolution theory that may be debatable are rabid evo fundies.

This is an evo-fundie pet peeve and they are trying to make everyone think it's ruining the GOP. This is a lie. They just want to force it down all conservative Republicans' throats by force of fear - "Oh, no one will vote R unless we make the TOE a state mandated belief!"

As I am not an East Coast over-educated elite, I don't want the gov't telling anyone that they have to believe in the TOE or they are the equivalent of a knuckledragging tobacco chewing cousin marrying 8th grade graduate.

If people like evolution, fine. If they don't, fine. It's irrelevant to politics. It's only because elitist evo-fundies want to force it down everyones' throats that it's even on the radar.
