the whole point of government schools is to teach kids evolution, condoms, the dangers of global warming, etc. If kids aren't learning evolution then how can we expect them to be liberals in the future??

I've been participating in these evolution threads for more than three years, and I pretty much know the people on the evolution side. Not one is a liberal. How do you account for that? Do you think it's possible -- maybe -- that your beliefs about evolution are wrong?

Evolution is a left wing conspiracy! Wow, thanks for the heads up. Did you know those evil liberals have infiltrated every discipline of biological science? I feel like such a fool!

The creationism clause was whittled down to nothing due to the efforts of two brave Board members who are themselves creationists: Marlene Jennings & Martha Wise. Neither of them were willing to put ideology above good science, and both of them are quite comfortable that their religious beliefs will be shown to be compatible with scientific discoveries in the end. Neither of them were impressed with the Discovery Institute people when they came to give their testimony.
