Only in Florida

So, the pro-evolution politicians are upset because they compromise and call evolution a scientific theory (which it is) and the anti-evolution politicians are upset because they want people to realize the evolution is only one theory of the origin of life (which it isn’t).  Aaargh!  They don’t even know what they are arguing about!

Evolution IS as scientific theory.  Evolution does NOT explain the origin of life, it explains the diversity of life.  Did they even bother to ask a biologist (or a science teacher)?

    It’s a little long though.
