Astounding! This is surreal.

I like this little related bit:
Quote:
Speaking last February on campus, Christopher Hitchens said teaching intelligent design in biology classes would be equivalent to teaching astrology in astronomy classes or alchemy in chemistry courses. Creationists do not truly desire an even application of the “equal time” doctrine because it would force churches to teach the works of Voltaire, Benedict de Spinoza and Thomas Paine on Sunday mornings, Hitchens said.

There needs to be a line drawn between education and morality stories/doctrine. Separate church and state much lately?
