Yeah, I hate it when people try to paint this as being about these horrible atheist science teachers trying to destroy people's faith or something.

Look, it's not MY fault that the theory of evolution has such overwhealming evidence behind it! Whatever that means about your relationship with deity is for you to work out.

I don't think they get into theology in public schools at all here.

But then, catholic schools are funded by our tax dollars but they don't fund any other religious schools. Which is just mind-boggling.

I LOVE Richard Feynman and have read several of his books. He's great. He just cuts through the nonsense and sets it out clearly for the rest of us. I highly recommend 'Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman". I think that Kyzyl may be accessible from Tashkent and so I'll have to go there.

Woops! Added you, KC. :)

Flying Spaghetti Monster. Google it. It's fun. Here's the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parodies_of_the_ichthys_symbol

I don't know about over there, but here there are many people who have a fish symbol on their cars to show that they're Christians. Some one put feet on it and the word 'evolve' on it as a counter symbol and the whole thing took off.
