"if you have conflicting theories; neither of which can be proven - teach them both, or teach neither." I wholeheartedly agree, which is why I insist that my own religion, Pastafarianism - I believe that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster - should be taught alongside existing religions & intelligent design. At least until His Sacred And Noodly Existence can be disproved. There is more information about my religion here: http://www.venganza.org/about/open-letter/ N

Times Article To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, 2 October, 2010, 22:14 Its sad that we don't all have your positive view of what is right and what is wrong :-) its interesting to see how opinions change over the years as well. I remember when I was told how bad a film Inherit The Wind was - how stage bound it was, how awful Gene Kelly was etc, etc. now it seems as though people are coming around to my way of thinking. Reviewers seemed to forget that Kelly was Pal Joey - a character not dis-similar to Hornbeck (in nastiness if not intellect). Mencken was, of course, never rude in person. Also Mencken left Dayton before the climax - but this is drama not history. as for what is taught in school - I agree with WJB: if you have conflicting theories; neither of which can be proven - teach them both, or teach neither. -----Original Message----- >From: Richard Halegua Comic Art <[email protected]> > >The conversion of our society into evolution deniers and school >boards like the one in Texas forcing through such an agenda as >"Intelligent Design" into our schools shows that we have not >progressed as a society in some very important ways.
