It takes one to know one.

"Religious leaders are masters of intimidation and veiled threats, and their followers aren’t much better"

According to a blogger, teachers do a poor job of teaching evolution in schools because they are afraid of religious people. Balderdash and baloney.

Evolution is a theory and arguing with a religious person is no more like arguing with a wall than to argue with a contraction that those little red squares are bricks. Just because you do not believe in God or the Genesis account of creation does not make it not so. To a religious person who accepts that premise as true, you are the one who is stubborn and foolish .

I can make the statement that evolutionists have had to use the constitutional provision meant to protect people from the government forcing a particular form of worship upon them to prevent the truth from being taught in school because they just don't want to accept the truth.

That statement might not be true either.

Maybe the truth is that many teachers are just not convinced that evolution is anything more than a theory and not a provable at that and maybe many accept the biblical account of creation and are being forced to teach something that they themselves do not believe is true.
