I am having trouble avoiding a back handed compliment, like 'Well, it's about time". Oh, I guess I didn't. Still not finding terms like 'Notre Dame', 'Loyola', or 'Jesuit' anywhere in the article. But at least the idiots are being answered. From CNN.com
Scientists enlist clergy in evolution battle
ST. LOUIS, Missouri (Reuters) -- American scientists fighting back against creationism, intelligent design and other theories that seek to deny or downgrade the importance of evolution have recruited unlikely allies -- the clergy.
And they have taken their battle to a new level, trying to educate high school and even elementary school teachers on how to hold their own against parents and school boards who want to mix religion with science......
"The faith community needs to step up to the plate," agreed Eugenie Scott, Executive Director, National Center for Science Education in Oakland, California.
Scott said many people held the "toxic" idea that "you are either a Christian creationist or you are a bad-guy athiest".
