		<description>Just a quick follow-up on this thread...

&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sltrib.com/utahpolitics/ci_3490184&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Evolution bill survives by a vote&quot;&lt;/a&gt;

Even though the bill has been watered-down to near meaninglessness, it will still be taken as a moral victory by proponents; a point of encouragement.

What&#039;s most distressing is, and not really surprising, is the lack of enlightenment among a people (Mormons) whom I grew up with and who really have no doctrinal reason to reject science and many doctrines that point to embracing it. It&#039;s simple, ignorant, fanaticism overcoming a rational root. Just another reason why religion is failing us.</description>

&quot;TheBlackCat, I think you rode RAD a little hard. I donâ€™t think he intended to sound so Creationist as you felt he did.&quot;

I would have to agree.  Please accept my apologies, RAD.</description>
