Polls, schmolls, three hundred years ago 99% of the people thought the earth
was flat, the sun revolved around it and their King was appointed by
god......

See, it's a controversial topic.

People just don't agree so we have to cater to everyone. Maybe they could
have LRH cultists and genetic biologist fight it out against the Christians,
Muslims and Jews.

Winner gets to decide what is taught....

The Gallup Organizations periodically asks the American public about their
beliefs on evolution and creation. They have conducted a poll of U.S. adults
in 1982, 1991, 1993 and 1997. By keeping their wording identical, each
year's results are comparable to the others.
Results for the 1991-NOV-21 to 24 poll were:

Belief system
Creationist view
Theistic evolution
Naturalistic Evolution

Group of adults
God created man pretty much in his present form at one time within the last
10,000 years.
Man has developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life,
but God guided this process, including man's creation.
Man has developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life.
God had no part in this process.

There is plenty of proof that evolution exists, look at the bacterial
immunity to antibiotics the same article spoke of, or the fossil records of
early man, Of course we didnt come from monkeys, because they are around
now, but that doesnt mean that we didnt evolve from erraly primates of some
sort.

As for the Theory of Alien Plant Seedlings. Gather your own evidence and
teach it if you want to, I dont care.

I just dont want right wing religious zealots telling people that something
that is widely accepted scientific theory cannot be taught in a public
school, even if YOU choose not to believe it.

Last time I checked it was still the "Theory of Evolution" not the "Proof of
Evolution"

Does that mean I can teach the "Theory of Alien Planet Seedings" as well?
