This would be fantastic!(IF religon finally allows evolution into discusion,especially in schools)

Your average answer to the elepants trunk is that god put it there!

The people who think that the sun goes round the earth, that the earth is less than 10,000 years old and probably flat etc. etc. would tell you that their imaginary creator god did it. I'll give them one thing they have vivid imaginations.
How people could consider that sort of nonsense should be taught in schools and the facts of evolution not is beyond me.
