Rejection of evolution theory reminds me of my days in university when I assisted in various biology and geology classes. I had a lecture on evolution and mutation and received a lot of flack from the Newman Club/Center and another Catholic student organization.
This was years ago, but this organization still seems to be strong on many campuses.

I did not say that I would prefer to live under the Chinese system of government, but its unified development is currently more efficient in creating capital wealth and expanding the middle class- only the Germans in the west seem to be keeping pace. The U.S. seems to be losing ground to the Asian models.
