    Johnny replied:
    And you would have the government outlaw these universities from doing that?

      That would be getting involved in determine the values for others. I
    can't think of ONE THING that is useful or practical about learning or
    believing the theory of evolution. There is no point in insisting that all
    schools teach it.

    DMB says:
    Evolution is the central organizing idea of all the biological sciences. Its
    usefulness and practicality can hardly be overstated. The MOQ, which expands
    the concept beyond biology to include every little thing, wouldn't make
    sense without it.
