>>I had a discussion prior to the election about how frightning some current religious events are. It appears we are headed back to the stone ages. I just read about a sticker that some parents in Georgia want attached to science textbooks . Something to the effect that the contents of the book that discuss evolution are not proven facts.

There is a very big difference between the "holes" in evolution theory and the holes in creation theory. In the first case we are talking about some details that havent been completely explained. In the second we throw science out the window and explain everything by resorting to an unknown, unexplainable "power" that did everything.

Personally I dont see a problem unless you take creationism literally. Even if you accept the scientific explaination that still leaves a lot of room for unknown's. Science may explain how human bodies came about due to evolution but, for example, consciouness and self-consciousness, leave some huge questions in science.

But, hey, live and let live is what I say. Whatever turns you on baby <g>
