This below is from Scotland on Sunday, at scotlandonsunday.com and is a report on the real threat our country faces concerning the whacko-right's attempts to include creationism in our schools. Can you imagine trying to do away with the basis of almost all science, that is, Darwin's Theory of Evolution, and replacing it with the fable of God creating the universe as told in the bible? Just imagine, we would then be at the same level as those people in we are fighting in Iraq and other third world countries. Here is what the article says:

US schools face new attack on evolution

JACQUI GODDARD IN MIAMI


AMERICA?S bible belt is gathering behind a fresh attack on the teaching of Darwin?s theory of evolution in schools.

Education officials in TEXAS are seriously considering a radical rewrite of textbooks to include claims that life on Earth was the result of "intelligent design" in a move that would affect all schools in the United States.

Evolutionists dismiss proponents of intelligent design as servants of the religious right, claiming the theory is simply a dressed-up form of creationism - the notion that God made man.

But on the other side of the debate are those who say that elements of Darwinism have been proved scientifically unsound and should be written out. They deny they are pushing a religious agenda.

Raymond Bohlin, research fellow at the Discovery Institute, a public policy think-tank in Seattle that is leading the call for change, said: "We feel that, for many years, textbooks have been given carte blanche to present all the strengths of evolutionism but none of the weaknesses."

Bohlin also heads Probe Ministries, a TEXAS group whose mission is to "bridge the frontier between the agonising questions man asks and the profound answers the Gospel offers".

Academics have reacted in horror to the idea of teaching 'intelligent design'.

Brian Leiter, professor of philosophy at the University of TEXAS, said: "Intelligent design is make-believe, but it's upsetting to people to be told that. It presents this real culture war."


TEXAS IS KILLING US!! This is the kind of world people like George Bush want us to live in, third world, where the rich control the poor and education cannot raise anyone up in class or economics because it is based on religion. Just another example of America's quick slide toward oblivion.
