Re: paleonet Good news for evolution and science teaching

["Jere H. Lipps" <jlipps@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with you David, and I am sorry I posted that particular email.  It was the only news I had of it at the time.   I should have waited for the CNN, NCSE, and other blurbs about it.    I hope I clarified it in my most recent post.  On the other hand, it does point out that we need to look more broadly than our own particular interests when it comes to science literacy.  Most religious people in mainstream churches, at least, support science.

The rejection of misleading antievolutionary stickers is good news.

The way that the news blurb represents it as a triumph of atheism is bad news.  It makes it look as though evolution is an atheistic plot instead of being good science.
