Take a look at this Viewpoint article<\/a> in the Panama City News Herald.<\/p>\n

The American Civil Liberties Union, environmentalists and other groups have controlled our schools for decades and they have determined what is taught. In some cases, they have allowed errors in science books concerning evolution.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

In fact, the ACLU and the evolutionists have a goal to completely remove all Christian influence in all our institutions. They are now succeeding.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Almost all of our founders were dedicated Christians, despite what the evolutionists and the ACLU would like for you to believe.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

The theory of evolution is a good example of what happens when people are taught what to think. As evolutionists control education, they determine what is taught. They do not allow anything that questions evolution or that comes from a Christian perspective. They teach that evolution is a settled science that has disproved the Bible, despite overwhelming evidence against evolution. Dissenters are reluctant to speak up for fear of personal attacks or job loss.<\/p>\n

Uncritical thinking and a lack of facts have led to the belief that evolution is unquestionable. Science and the Constitution ban God from our institutions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ummmm, evolution as a whole is considered settled science. However, evolution doesn’t say a thing about any religion’s validity. Science does not ban religion from anywhere; it simply doesn’t have that authority, so to speak. Many religions are fine and dandy with evolution<\/a>. Evolution can certainly be questioned. The person who can present the evidence that shifts the scientific community from evolution to some other viable scientific theory would have a sure lock on the next Nobel Prize. Evidence against evolution? Where is it? All the “evidence against evolution” presented so far are lies and distortions.<\/p>\n

This writer has a few insecurities, I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
