Either/Or

There was a news story in the Vicad yesterday telling that a couple of State Bd of Edu members are going to be drawing opponents from the Religious Right, who, should they win, will no doubt meddle in curriculum by trying to force a Creationist element in public-school biology teaching. Then, the annoying economist who writes the column in the Business section had a bit about how bioscience was the glowing future for the state of Texas. Do these people know that evolution is the rock-bottom basis of modern biology?
