Talkin About Evolution

Here we are in the 21st century still fighting about evolution and banning books. It just seems so 20th century doesn't it? So very "Inherit the Wind"...

And I thought we had evolution figured-all those bones, all that research.

If Hindus demanded that reincarnation be the only thing taught in the schools they'd be shot down in a second. To declare one group's religious belief the end all be all (especially in a different subject like science) is not only illegal, it's also just plain rude. We're a great big religious Bennetton ad in this country and schools should reflect that.

Isn't school supposed to be a lively exchange? Judging by the questionable behavior amply demonstrated to me on a daily basis I'd saying bringing up the next generation with more finely honed evaulation skills would be a good thing.

I agree with the bumper stickers that say "Intelligent Design is poor science." It reminds me of that cartoon where the mathematician has used the whole chalkboard for a particularly difficult problem except in the middle of the proof it says "then a miracle occurs".

So, all you people making all the noise use those family dinners you profess to be having to discuss with your kids where you feel the author or scientist went wrong. They'd be sure to get a good grade on that book or science report cause you can't get that stuff from Cliffs Notes. If there are books you don't want your kid to read fine, that's your call, but don't try and ban it for everyone. Keep your paws off my pages and my dinosaur bones.
