yeah well...several US states are already introducing legislation that schools must teach the creationist way of evolution, rather than the Darwinian way. I always find it amusing, since the US constitution forbids religious interference with the government, why are so many religious nuttos in power making these sorts of decisions?

The evidence against creationism is totally overwhelming - no sane mind could consider it, or at least should. Sadly, like love, religion is usually blinding. This is a fantastic find that shows nature at its best. I had a disagreement with my boss @ work today - who believes that keeping the mind and body strong will ward off viruses like the flu etc, and that the flu pandemic early in the 20th century would never happen again. It's only a matter of time before nature and viruses evolve into a strain that is totally resistant to our antibiotics. It's not a matter of if, but when.
