1. You know...
...I'll start to feel comfortable with the idea of Creationism (Intelligent Design, whatever the heck you want to call it--it's all the same really) being taught in schools the minute they start teaching biology in Sunday school.
:sarcasm:

Everyone is entitled to their religious beliefs, but this is insane: the evolution theory is the result of careful examination of the facts, retesting, and corroborating evidence over time. Science makes theories to match the facts.

Religion, on the other hand, says "Don't bother me with facts. My book written by guys living in grass huts before we knew anything about astronomy or geology or physics says it happened this way, and if the facts don't match it the facts must be wrong or planted by Satan"

If someone doesn't believe in evolution or that the Earth was created billions of years ago or that it's round and revolves around the Sun, that's their right. But don't try to get the schools to teach that. Because the FACTS say that all of that is wrong.
