What if the word “adaptation” was substituted for evolution? Would that help creationists understand things better? Probably not.

I was raised by right wing conservatives and encouraged to study science as a kid. None of this was ever a conflict with the Bible. I don’t know when this crap started, but it’s messing up public education, which I suspect is the actual long term goal anyway. It’s the same bunch of usual suspects who also deny climate change. It’s damaging and it really shouldn’t be allowed to interfere with public school curriculum.
