Everyone has the right to sacred beliefs, not just the
religious. Yeah keep your beliefs sacred and I'll keep
mine too. However thats not the debate! Religious people
want their sacred in classrooms because they think
evolution is sacred to atheists. It isn't. Evolution is
a theory like gravity, from observation we have found that
a force acts on a body to accelerate it to the ground.
Thus if you step off a high clift you will die. Similarly
evolution is the observation of viruses swapping genetic
material. Thus we are all fearful of the next big influenza
outbreak, birdflu, because a lot of people will die.
Now I don't know about you but the theory of God has never
saved as many lives as pure unalterated scientific
investigation. I would perfer it if people like you
didn't assume your personal sacred was being dragged down
but admitted the obvious that it was quite the reverse.
Religious fabatics are trying to dumbdown science.
Keep your dirty stinking hands off independant scientific
endervours, you sick deluded theists. Where the hell
do you get off raising 'your' personal God above the
commonsense! It has nothing to do with your hocuspocus
personal views. Its about common nonspecific noncultural
education of the sciences.
