Evolution is NOT a Dirty Word
 
"Nearly 140 years after Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, that message [that Godless evolution not be taught to their children] still has remarkably broad appeal. Polls consistently show that nearly half of all Americans reject Darwin's theory of evolution. They prefer to believe, against all scientific evidence, the Old Testament account of how God created the world in seven days.

Tennessee state assembly voted on a bill that would require schools to fire teachers who present evolution as if it were a scientific fact.

Faced with a requirement to teach creationism and evolution side by side, many teachers are opting to skip both, says Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education. 'That's like trying to teach chemistry without using the periodic table,' she says. 'And every time that happens, it's a victory for creation science.' "
