There are devout Christians who are just two steps behind the Taliban when it come to evolution. Fortunately the long dead debate is still respectful in the USA and does not immediately proceed to killing kids and teachers as they do in Afghanistan.

Anyone, be it simply someone you know, who is still seething from this debate, should be introduced to some kind of compromise before they become as radicalized as severely as pro life terrorist killers who are ironically willing to kill doctors and innocents.

I normally express myself with a softer touch but there are real temptations for religion to get out of hand just as science can become potentially stupid in resurrecting the 1910 bird flu*.

Today Texas public school students are required to learn creation "science". Fundamentalism or science? Its up to the kids?
