Well --- I really do not know his reasoning.............. hence the wording "perhaps ...." I have a friend, a math teacher in high school. He had to teach biology for a semester. He decided he was put his career on the line and make a statement , in class, that was pro-creation. Before he made his presentation, he happened to ask the class of over 40 how many believed in evolution? No one raised their hands !! He didn't make his presentation.
The godless evolutionists -- and there are many who are not godless, of course -- really do not have success in teaching people away from their faith until they get to college. If a battle needs to be waged, it is in the university system.

It is the liberal loonies like this Archbishop of Canterbury who are doing this.David Miller
