It is comical to listen to some right-wing politicians and evangelicals rage about science and evolution. I looked up a chart on the ascent of man and it showed man’s oldest precursor to be the apes, next Proconsul, then Patenleather knuckle-dragger fundamentalists, Austrailapithecus, homo-erectus, Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon, and finally modern man. When did the human form develop a conscience and soul? That is a matter of religious belief. Not until modern man was science developed. It included gathering facts based on scientific observations rather than superstition and fear. Are we going to advance any further in our educational institutions or are we going to regress to earlier forms of man? I fear the later.
