[Utah-astronomy] science and religion

Wow. I go away for a few hours and my computer is jammed with email about my earlier note. I know this is an emotional debate, but that's also part of the problem. I plan to get involved much more politically to defeat Representative Buttars and others who propose that creationism be taught in Utah public schools. Thanks, though, for all your thoughts on the topic. I enjoy a lively debate now and then, but this thing really set me off. I shouldn't be so naive, however. Politicians, by definition, haven't the sense to keep this issue out of public education. (Apologies to all rational politicians, whoever she may be.) Kim
