Evolution Exposed By Christian Community > HOUSTON, Texas, June 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- ChristiaNet.com, the > world's largest Christian portal with twelve million monthly pages loads > recently conducted a poll asking participants to decide whether Creationism or > Evolution should be taught to children in the classroom.
