evolutionary grave diggers What are you trying to say here? That grave diggers change over time? There is evidence that the Neandertal in both France and Israel buried their dead. I'm not sure they dug the graves so much as covered the bodies in existing depressions. Perhaps you are aluding to the practice of using shovels in the past while now many grave diggers use a backhoe. Changes in technology are not really explained by natural selection since there is the ability to aquire traits (by learning) and life after death (if you publish like Carl Sagan did ). TP

re: evolution excludes other views Kansas city is all about one group of evolutionists wanting to impose on others their un-proven view of how we originated at the exclusion of other views. No, Science education is about teaching models of reality that have the best empirical support. At this time evolution is that model. What the scientific community is upset about is that religion is interfering with the curriculum in public schools. It's like having scientists interfering with the Sunday church services. Such interference makes no sense, in either direction.

>TP the whole issue in Kansas is about a couple of evolutionary grave diggers wanting to affirm their religious views ie that we originated from slime:< I emphatically disagree. Carl Sagan is voicing an opinion, not pronouncing doctrine. Same for the rest of your abbreviated Hall of Shame. Always remember that the core of good science is "We invite you to disprove it". But rhetoric is not the way to do it. And show me one single (or married, that's okay too, <gg>) Creation Scientist who'll sit still for a deconstruction of his basic premises.
