Creationism, Evolution, Education--and Politics

How much does politics affect teaching evolution? How is the "fairness" argument exploited to undermine evolution education? Genie Scott explores these and other antievolution strategies in a recent speech before the Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Where: Scottsdale, AZ. When: 4/17/2011

Above is the description from the Youtube video

Ive just seen this on one of my subscriptions and after watching 10 minutes of it thought it was well worthy of a thread.

This charming lady explains some of the basic mistakes made by people about evolution....monkey to man etc.

Ive not watched much, its a fairly long video....but well worth a watch i think

Mods - I didnt know where to post this....feel free to move if its in the wrong section


Back to the video


P.s - I SEARCHED haha...no seriously i actually did....and this HASN'T been posted before Well worth doing peeps

Several of the Republican candidates in the United States said that they do not believe in Evolution... I keep wondering if that's what they really believe or if they are just saying that because they know a lot of their voters are religious and anti-evolution.

Politicians only say what their constituents want to hear, in my opinion.

The question to pose to the constituents is; if you refute evolution and must only accept a religious explanation, would you be willing to accept Islam's creation story, or perhaps Hinduism?
