I can't take it any more
If your religion holds that the sky is orange, don't scream about division of church and state when school children are informed that it is, in fact, on a cloudless clear day, blue.
Call me crazy, but when I learned evolutionary biology, the story of the moths that changed color seemed to cement the case for natural selection.
It's mathematically obvious that natural selection happens. If organisms with one kind of genetic makeup are more likely to survive and reproduce than those with another makeup, each successive generation will be made up of an increased proportion of individuals with the favored makeup.
The snakes spit out the bitter frogs, and swallow the Kermit-flavored variety. Leads to fewer Kermits and more bitters. If you keep taking the red marbles out of the bag, soon there are no red marbles left. Duh.
If religious nuts want to plunge us into the dark ages, that's fine. Next time they're sick, we'll bleed them with leeches to restore their balance of yellow and black bile.
