>> I didn't read it carefully because every state tests on biological science so I figured you were claiming the high score for Christian Schools was do to some weird religious qualification. I was way off base and it caused our discussion to go haywire for a couple of posts. Sorry, it was my mistake.

You know, I understand why this is such a big issue, but I really don't think that it should be. As a parent, I would want my kid to know that the Global Warming argument exists and both sides of it, but I would not want the false views of the Left drilled into his or her heard in public school (and I'm quite sure that's what they get, although my kids have been out for some time).

I was curious what you meant by origin theories. Did you mean abiogenesis, or do you consider common descent to be an origin theory (as in the common descent of pan and homo for example?).

Creationists often lump the two together as origin theories, since the latter is the origin of Man, which is all they really care about. One is an integral part of evolution, the other predates evolution and is not general considered part of evolutionary biology.
