It’s true that people on my side of the divide want to live in a society where women are free to choose and where [...] A court in Georgia has set the stage for a revival production of the infamous Scopes monkey trial – only this time, it is the opponents of evolution on the defensive: A warning sticker in suburban Atlanta science textbooks that says evolution is “a theory, not a fact” was challenged in court Monday as an [...] Perhaps a deal could be worked out that’d keep everyone happy: anyone who disagrees with evolution can do so. However, they must conversely reject all historical advancements which were borne from the scientific method.
