If we're going to advocate teaching Creationism like VP nominee Sarah Palin in our science and history classes as a viable "theory" thatreceives "equal representation with other theories of the origin of life" then that curriculum better damn well include the one about our planet resting on the back of a spider which rests on the back of a frog that rests on the back of a turtle. It's just as valid. And I don't know about you, and no disrespect, but I think this earth-spider-frog-turtle explanation is a better look than a vengeful and wrathful Old Testament God.
