No problems at all. I do have a problem with you either not knowing or misrepresenting History however. Are there other regions in life that you blatantly misrepresent or are this abjectly ignorant of?

wheewwboy...

a little touchy, eh?

Hey, here's something you probably don't want to know about the textbook in the Scopes trial:

The Scopes textbook, Hunter's A Civic Biology, divided humanity into five races and ranked them in terms of superiority, concluding with "the highest type of all, the Caucasians, represented by the civilized white inhabitants of Europe and America." A Civic Biology asserted that crime and immorality are inherited and run in families, and that "these families have become parasitic on society. . . . If such people were lower animals, we would probably kill them off. . . . [W]e do have the remedy of separating the sexes in asylums or other places and in various ways preventing intermarriage and the possibilities of perpetuating such a low and degenerate race."

That was sure something of value to society and science, now, wasn't it?

One thing you can always count on from evoatheists - intense arrogance and condescension.

In your case, you’re just using some nitpicky little point to avoid the POINT of the post.

The US has NEVER even approached the dreaded theocracy that you fear, even when evolution was not allowed to be taught in school.

Now, I’m going to flat out accuse you, in the similar vein of your accusation,

of supporting the racism and eugenics in the evolution book of the Scopes trial. Like that, arrogantboy?
