NY Times: Florida: Evolution to Be Taught as a Theory

Florida: Evolution to Be Taught as a Theory: State education officials voted to add evolution to the required course work in public schools, but only after a last-minute change depicting Darwin’s seminal work as merely a theory.

Is it just me, or has no one gone to the Supreme Court yet to get a ruling?

Come on, either way someone's going to lose in the end. All this arguing about Evolution and Creationism is just a waste of time, which one is better? Religion has no place in the curriculum of a public school, and that's what Creationism is, a viewpoint on how humans came to exist. If a heavily religious family doesn't want their children to learn about Evolution, then don't send them to a public school. In school, we learn fact; we learn that dinosaurs did live on the Earth. But the dinosaurs had to come from somewhere, and I don't think that any deity would have created them.

One of the few things that we know today is: Matter cannot be created or destroyed. It has to come from something, we came from something. Humans didn't just pop up out of the ground and begin to worship a deity, we came from something.

Religions explain things that science can't, but science has proved that things change over the course of time. And if that's true, then so have we.
