Chalk one up for science
One group of people that I’ve never been able to side with, let alone understand, are creationists. By relying on a series of fanciful tales and ignoring the whole of science, creationists hold a place in my heart very similar to the dungeon that I also reserve for those that commute via SUV, litter, or vote Republican. Given the way things are in this world, none of that makes sense.
Therefore, I was glad to see that common sense won out in a recent Georgia ruling that ordered disclaimer stickers removed from biology textbooks. Why in the world does evolution, a scientifically sound theory, have to concede an inch to any belief system that cannot justify its existence in any way beyond offering a collection of fictional tales, as entertaining as they may be?
