George wrote: "One of the main problems with this and similar 'warnings' is that they pick out evolution as something uniquely controversial...".But it surely is uniquely controversial, isn't it? For example, do we have an ongoing, widespread and heated debate concerning the germ theory of disease, relativity, or plate tectonics? No, because none of these challenges the Authority of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures as the revealed word of God. Furthermore, as far as I am aware, evolution is the only theory that comes with a built-in _imperative_. By that I mean, You _must_ believe this to be true - otherwise how can you possibly be trusted to think and behave rationally? Again, the fact that its proponents want to suppress all healthy scientific skepticism of it suggests that they believe certain aspects are better kept hidden.
