I must say that this page frightens me. If students don't grasp
evolution, are they supposed to think that God is continuously creating
different bacteria, some of which are resistent to antibiotics? Are they
supposed to envision the peppered moth being recreated until it is the
right color? Do some studies actually show that the population of some
African towns is being created with AIDS-resistant babies? Are
retroviruses having their shells redesigned to fight off immunity? It
would be impossible to understand science without evolution. Sometimes I
thimk the world would be easier if all the religious people followed my
directive regarding the 'infernal hexagon' carbon :)
