Why isn't Taltos's reply on here?
Anyways, in response: We've already been over this. If this "evidence" were really contradictory to the theory of evolution, it would be incorporated into the theory IF the evidence is verified. The theory would be amended if this evidence was really contradictory. However, that isn't the case, and I haven't heard of a single piece of information which contradicts the theory of evolution, so once again, I ask, where or what is this evidence?
As for your second point, a [bold]comparative[/bold] religion class is fine in my book. It's akin to a history or philosophy class. Teaching IT, however, which 1) isn't a scientific theory and 2) is only part of fundamental Christianity, is completely backwards. Why should IT be taken seriously and not the beliefs of other religions? How would you feel if your child was being taught that we are all made from mud? In fact, lets take it a step forwards. What if school teachers were seriously trying to teach children that the earth is in fact riding on the back of a huge turtle? We can't cater to any religious belief, not when were' talking about science. THAT'S why you cant *teach* it to children. I don't want anything religious being taught to my children unless they specifically choose to take a comparative religious class.
