Only Miss Massachusetts and Campanella stood up for Darwin.Score one for Charles Darwin. The newly crowned Miss USA, Alyssa Campanella, 21, of Los Angeles, who calls herself "a huge science geek," says evolution should be taught in public schools.

As someone else pointed out on another thread...these girls aren't exactly rocket scientists.

Finally, a pageant candidate is chosen for her intelligence and critical thinking!

lol she also call herself a "history geek" because she watched The Tudors

[theunbrainwashed]

Or she saw the other candidates lose the contestants because they didn't give the "correct" answer

I am betting her IQ and education would blow you and most others right out of the water!

A well rounded education would offer the THEORY of evolution, as well as the THEORY of creationism.

You're kidding right?

Do you know what "theory" means, in this context? I would be willing to bet you couldn't tell us the first thing about evolution, or the definition of a "theory". (hint: stay away from dictionaries)

Who said that one has to be a rocket scientist to either be on a beauty pageant or to understand evolution as being real? All it takes is more faith in thinking, analyzing and drawing conclusions as opposed to relying entirely on faith in stories.

Please do tell, what would you like to tell in such theory of creationism and evidence of such that can be witnessed to any extent?

There is no such thing as the theory of creationism. Creationism is a religious dogma, not a scientific theory.

If a scientific theory ever emerges as an alternative to evolution by natural selection it would be legitimate for it to be taught in science classes, but this has not happened.
