In OGD V10 #236, Robert Riefer said "Such an archane and absurd idea would have been laid to rest in museums and repeats of "Antiques Roadshow" if it were not the state sponsored religion in the United States: taught in the public school system as early as kindergarten. Its name is The Theory of Evolution."
Robert, aren't you over-generalising just a little bit ? I was under the impression that 40% of US States promoted public-school teaching of a truly primitive and arcane system which is known by various euphemisms, eg "Intelligent (sic) Design".
