We are getting off on rabbit trails. I said I would concede the Hitler point.
Let me put us back on the main track.
The BOTTOM, BOTTOM, BOTTOM line for me is this, guys.
None of this discussion here changes the simple FACT that ...
(a) WE REALLY DON'T KNOW FOR SURE IF HUMANS EVOLVED FROM APE-LIKE ANCESTORS, AND I'M NOT SURE WE EVER WILL.
and ...
(b) WE REALLY DON'T KNOW FOR SURE IF "GODDIDIT" AND WE CERTAINLY CAN'T "PROVE" THAT.
OK?
Now ... my BIG problem is this ...
Why are we standing up in science classes and teaching kids that Ape to Human Evolution is a FACT? This is dishonest and potentially damaging to society for any number of debatable reasons. What we SHOULD be doing is telling them BOTH THEORIES--DESIGN and NO DESIGN and clearly let them know they are UNPROVEN THEORIES and it is up to YOU and YOUR PARENTS to decide. My tax dollars are funding this education system just like yours are and I have a different opinion on something that is an unprovable fact in either direction. Why is my opinion shut out and vilified? Is this country supposed to be a representative democracy or is it not? Last time I checked IT WAS.
And that ... my friends ... is the BOTTOM LINE on this thread.

A DILEMMA FOR THE COMMITTED NATURALIST
A Hi-tech alien spaceship lands on earth ... DESIGNED.
A Hi-tech alien rotary motor found in a cell ... NOT DESIGNED.
