'Creation Science' Gets Another Legal Smackdown

As the child of an educator I abhor and despise ignorance no matter where it comes from.

I have a special distaste for the Religious Reich not only because of their faith-based hatred of GLBT people or the twisting of Biblical scripture for their nefarious political purposes, but because of their decades long Talibanesque push to destroy public schools. They wish to force their interpretations of science on the rest of us who don't turn off our brains when we enter a church sanctuary or have no problem reconciling scientific reason and logic with our Christian beliefs. In fact, Dr. Martin Luther King is my role model to be just that type of Christian.

First, belief in "Creation" is not a science. There is no objective evidence.

Second, that case was decided with the Monkey trail.

Third, they will never give up and have put many holes in the wall dividing church and State. The "In God We Trust" needs to removed from our money and any other official Government involvement.

This country was founded with the idea of secularism so that no religion would dictate laws.
