        @sapinker @Evolutionistrue We should keep faith out of education as education demands thinking&questioning anything including religion/faith

        @sapinker @Evolutionistrue NatGeo should have been cautious as our current times demand all thinking men to defend unbiased research &reason

        @sapinker @Evolutionistrue Wow; guy obviously never read The Selfish Gene. Idea that "atheism" can even have "leaders" is pretty silly!

        @sapinker @davestewart4444 @Evolutionistrue Remember, it was recently bought by Rupert Murdoch. So, it will be infused with Fox News' rigor.

        @sapinker @Evolutionistrue OK. "We have the equations, so knock down the churches..." is not a good inference.
