Re: The Pope’s Velociraptor – and the KKK part 2

A few anti-Darwinists insist that “Evolution=Atheism.” Hey – the Pope John Paul II was NOT an atheist!

And that’s why we should be careful about creationism in public schools. Catholic-Protestant tensions color the creation-evolution debate. Our country did go through a sad period of anti-Catholic bias. When the KKK marched in Indiana in the Depression, they were against integration, Jews, Darwin and…..Catholics. Some of today’s anti-Darwin feeling began when Protestants linked evolution to those “Pointy-headed Modernists, Papal heretics and the ***** of Babylon.” I heard that growing up in the 1950’s.

A simple proposal: discuss various brands of creationism in philosophy classes and in the history of religion. All kids should learn about our diverse religious heritage.

Put Darwinism when it belongs. In science classes.

Velociraptor belongs to everyone – Catholics, Unitarians, Southern Baptists, Holy Rollers. And threatens no one’s real theology.
