I clicked on "Evolution isn't fare for classroom, either" and this came to my eyes:

First off, they demonstrate a misunderstanding of science by stating that because evolution isn't proven it is a hypothesis. Then they go on to state that unless 100% of the scientific community believes in something, then it is just a "world view." But shall we not teach that the Earth is a sphere either? And that it rotates around the sun? We have not proven that these things are true (we only have empirical evidence to back them up), and not 100% of scientists agree with it. (Yes, there are still a few nutcase scientists out there.) Therefore, we should not teach about Copernicus's and Galileo's "world view." <img src="graemlins/banghead.gif" border="0" alt="[Bang Head]" />

How about the link saying that science and religion must be separate?

The guy talks about no evidence for the "origin of life" in conjunction with evolutionary theory.

He puts a "Dr." in front of his name.

I certainly hope he is not a biologist.
