Hey..... Enlighten us on your 5th grade ciricullum, you rememeber your teachers, grades, classmates, religious studies from 5th grade. Actually, what grade did you study evolution?
In fifth grade I was reading the Barnes & Noble Outline of Biology, for fun. (Not sure that series is still in print, I think the Schaum series beat them.)
That what happens when you live in Dixie. They are still whining about the War of Northern Aggression. Is it any wonder why they promote retrograde thinking?
I said it before and I will say it again: "I must congratulate China and USSR for freeing more than a billion of humanity from the shackles of religion." We are a primitive and civilization because we still have religion and we still use money.
You guys are breaking balls on what little religion is left in this country. Why don't you go educate the Muslims on the errors of their ways? Prayer rugs, footbaths and "call to prayer" in America are okay? Say "Merry Christmas" and you are offensive. spare me.
So yes, really? The non-fact based, non-scientific "science" in question is Creationism. What next. Teach Numerology as math? The Stork theory as biology? Teaching religion as science. A really dumb thing to do.
Yes, really. You want to believe the latest and greatest theory as chiseled in stone "gospel"? That's your prerogative. If I had a dollar for every time science figured out what they thought they knew was wrong, I'd own the world by now. And I'm NOT anti-science.
