Evolution is religion?

By | November 27, 2005

This is bizarre…. apparently, someone is suing the University of California-Berkeley, saying that their Understanding Evolution website is advocating religious beliefs.

In the lawsuit filed last month, the Caldwells contend the site is an effort “to modify the beliefs of public school science students so they will be more willing to accept evolutionary theory as true.”

The plaintiffs are not proponents of “intelligent design” — a theory that living organisms are so complex they must have been created by a higher intelligence — but they object to the teaching of evolution as scientific fact, Jeanne Caldwell said.

How in the hell does evolution qualify as a religion? It’s science, pure and simple, and does not consider any religious beliefs. This lawsuit should be tossed out in less time than it took me to write this brief entry!
