Agreed. And it's how we've gotten to a point in this country where things like evolution are now considered "debatable", or not considered to be science at all.

When 3 people running for POTUS raise their hand in a Presidential Debate and proudly claim that they don't believe in evolution, the end can't be far away. In my mind they should have been disqualified from the race at that point. What's next - the sky really isn't blue or the sun doesn't really rise in the east & set in the west? It's pure lunacy/insanity that areas of learning, such as evolution, have been reduced to political issues. The race to the bottom in this country is in hyper-warp speed as far as I'm concerned. "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader" isn't just a game show - it's becoming reality.

Stepping off my soapbox now....
