Seems to me that a better strategy would be for the Disco Institute to use AI theory as a Trojan horse. It doesn’t have the religious overtones, so is more likely to be declared constitutional. Get it into the classroom first, and it’ll be easier to sneak other nonsense in.

On a more serious note, why does ET have a condom on his finger? Doesn’t he want to get infected?

I’ve always known enough about evolution to see creationist arguments for the nonsense that they are, but I honestly don’t know how the pyramids were built.

Sheds a little more light for me on how it is that people buy the IDist arguments…
