What jury?

Macro-evolution is as much of a farce as man made global warming. Leftists are simply unable to accept reality. Myself, I'll stick with credible science, not Darwinian voodoo from the 1800's. These people would swear the earth was flat if their progressive ( i.e. socialist humanist ) college professor told them it was so.

A lot of empty prejudicial rhetoric noted.

I agree, and more than a little ignorance and, well, let's call it by its real name, prejudice, on both sides of the aisle.

Unfortunately, that's what happens when politicians are involved.
