I completely agree with you about the partisan nature of the ACLU.

I'm not for censoring science. I'm just noting that it's often done by the left with no outcry from the science organizations that claim there's a "war against science" if someone merely suggests that the theory of evolution isn't a proven fact.

I believe you ARE for censoring science. Censorship is not only the removal of information; it also includes selectively distorting information. Oh, and a scientific theory is never a fact. None of them are.

Spend a little time discussing the fact that science says nothing, one way or the other, about the existence of God. It's true, isn't it? But it won't happen, because it would hamper the agenda of the ACLU and others who see science, particularly evolution, as a tool to be used against religion. And that's where the real political agenda lies.

Evolution has not been a political tool used against religion. It's been used by religion. And a small segment, at that.

Well, I disagree! I really don't think we're that far apart. How would anything I have proposed distort scientific information?

Agreed!
