Bingo, we have a winner!

Personally, I've never seen that Evolution is counter to basic creation stories. It is the "why" that differs. Teach the science in school about the mechanism as best we can understand it. Leave the big picture "why" to churches, family, etc. Either that or do we want to start requiring churches to give "equal time?"

It is interesting that folks are still trying to dispute evolution as if it was a very shaky theory. Therefore, all sorts of other truly unprovable religious theories are elevated to the same "scientific" level in their eyes..
