While I find it a bit amusing, I have a degree in evolution and it really doesn't matter if you call it evolution or 'biological changes over time.'

Hang on, I'm not a scientist but isn't 'biological changes over time.' kinda vague? I, as a male human went through a process of 'biological change over time' during puberty, that doesn't mean I "evolved". Maybe to be specific you could say, 'biological changes over time in the genetic composition of a population", but isn't that kinda flowery euphamism like the worst excesses of political correctness? Why mollycoddle them?
Anyway, I heard the Georgia school system was making the kids do a whole bunch of new science experiments. The students had to see whether exsanguination, leeches or saying the rosary was a better cure for the plague. Does their teacher weigh more than a duck? Their football teams aren't doing so well either, seems like their budgets were cut to make way for the new sports of 'bull-baiting' and 'dancing bears'.
