I firmly believe that Satan has used the theory of Evolution to try to shake the foundation of Christianity, and that the belief that life is meaningless because we are all descended from slimy algae is what has led to the dual plagues of abortion and crime. The evil one will do everything in his power to stop this movement back to truth in Ohio schools, and we need to pray fervently that he be bound.

You know what I find so appalling about the theory of evolution being taught in public (or any) schools as fact? It is a theory! And more to the point, Darwin recanted it before he died, if what I have read is true. Of course evolution is taking place and has taken place; species mutate. But where did the evolving species come from in the beginning? Not from Darwin's imagination, but from God's.

I will pray for Ohio on this critical issue. Thanks for the ping.

Oy vey! Not this only-a-theory thing again. When will people ever learn that a theory in science is not what it has become in the vernacular (i.e. guess, hunch, a mere hypothesis). Theories never become facts, they're two different animals but I suggest you read what Gould had to say on this topic.

That Lady Hope story about Darwins death bed recantation is a myth which has been debunked over and over again. Here is a good article on this.
Oh, wait, maybe you think that is freethought propaganda but let's see what Answers in Genesis has to say about this.
