"intelligently designed sarcastic T shirts"

LOL



I don't get the "giant beetle on the sun" meme, though.   ???

The reference is to the Egyptian god Khepri moving the sun in the form of a beetle.

How many Christian schools teach evolution? How many Sunday school teachers say, "Of course, Creationism is just one theory. Some people believe the equally viable alternative theory of evolution."
If you still hold the same views now as you did in high school, you probably should reexamine those views.

no idea what the statistics are but my catholic school taught evolution and not creationism/ID.

Possibly due to the Catholic churches acceptance of evolution as fact?

Question for those who have bought from here before.  Are these the kind of cheap t-shirts that fade and get water spots after one wash?
Nobody these days holds the written word in such high esteem as police states do.  What statistic allows one to identify the Nations where Literature enjoys true consideration better than the sums appropriated for controlling and suppressing it.
