Unfortunately, the topic of the origins of man has moved from a scientific discussion to one that is highly politicized. Let's stick with the evidence; teach children the facts.

School districts should provide an open forum for critical thinking and to explore all theories about man's origins. This includes the theory of Intelligent Design: Just as a watch doesn't make itself and needs a watchmaker, so too does the intricate design in nature indicate that there was a Master Creator who planned every detail, right down to unique DNA designs!

Intelligent Design is the one explanation that can withstand scrutiny.
