The Bush administration of neocon neanderthals seems set on turning back the clock to the middle ages, by gradually reducing the status of the teaching of Darwinian Evolution in the schools. They're peddling the common misunderstanding of the word 'theory' as meaning 'unproven conjecture'. Evolution is probably the single best supported theory in existence today, and the probability of it being fundamentally incorrect is infinitesimally close to zero. These people just don't understand the scientific process. What's the next target, Einstein's theory of relativity?
The problem is that uneducated fools are all too happy broadcasting their ignorance. We need a champion of rationality. Step up to the plate, Mr Dawkins.
This makes me angry. Stupidity is worrying when displayed by the powerful.
