Aaargh. I didn't want to take part in this discussion because of the Golden Rule "No cross no crown no green star", but still... I don't think evolution is obvious, or has enough proofs. I don't want it taught "the only right thing". Don't call it "theory". Let it be "a wide-spread hypothesis", ok? ~~~~~~Yitzik~~~~~~
