In a recent Pew Research Center poll, 42% of respondents said they believe in a strict creationist theory, and 64% said they believe creationism should be taught alongside evolution in schools.  [link]

Folks, I can only invoke the solemn and mostly intelligent rant by one Mr. Lewis Black:  “Fossils, fossils, fossils… I win!” Look, there’s a strict policy on separation of church and state, and state includes school.  But what really fascinates (and scares) me is the fact that there are people out there who are so firm and resolute in their faith in God that they put it above science. 

But I’ll tell you one thing I did learn in school.  Math.  And stupid stuff like geometry.  And because of that, I can say this:  Tom Cruise is on crack, and crack is wack.  Therefore, by the transitive property, Tom Cruise is wack.  Thanks, and stay in school.
