My concern is that if all they are doing is changing the name, then whats the point?
I know what the point is. The point is to slowly have it removed completely. If someone has a problem with the name evolution, then its pretty safe to say that they have a problem with the entire theory of evolution. If a name can be changed, why can't an entire curriculum follow in short order?
This, my friends, would only be the beginning.
Also, ignoring evolution and creation is just a way to passify weak minded biblical literalists. There are plenty of ways to work evolution into a Christian lifestyle.
Example: God created the world/universe in 7 days... well how long is a day to God? There was no concept of time as the ay we measure time is a creation of man.
Adam and Eve: A parable that people want to take literally. Its a story of man lost his way through paradise by defying the will of God. A lesson to live life by, not a literal history that means that we are all inbred hicks.
