thewayne"I want the full portrait of evolution and the people who came up with the ideas to be presented. It's a worldview and it's godless. Atheism has been tried in various societies, and they've been pretty criminal domestically and internationally. The Soviet Union, Cuba, the Nazis, China today: they don't respect human rights...Columbine, remember that? They were believers in evolution. That's evidence right there."
— NH state Rep. Jerry Bergevin, on his bill requiring schools to include evolution scientists' positions on atheism
There was one part in the movie Religulous that I especially loved. A CATHOLIC PRIEST, one that works at/with the VATICAN OBSERVATORY, said on-camera that the Bible was written before the Age of Reason and the application of critical thinking and cannot be taken as literal truth.
And Columbine? Really? What does two wacko teens shooting up a school have to do with Creationism vs Evolution?
