Staged victory for Darwin opponents

No Church!

I simply don't understand why people want to push through such nonsense and why politicians let themselves be harnessed to such an absurd cart. Ok, it's the Berlusconi government, which has barely missed a single gaffe and embarrassment so far, but even for them it's actually a pretty absurd matter.

Reality does not bend to the superstitious notions of some church bigwigs and their crazy followers. Evolution is reality, whether these nuts like it or not.

I hope the Italian Constitutional Court stops this nonsense before it spreads any further. It's bad enough that this nonsense keeps bubbling up in America, it doesn't need to get state support in Europe too.
