On May 14, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments (audio recording) in Caldwell v. Caldwell, (Case No. 06-15771). The case involves a claim by a Santa Rosa couple that a University of California, Berkeley, website titled "Understanding Evolution" was used to promote religious beliefs of groups that support evolution. (See prior posting.) Without reaching the merits, the district court court held that plaintiffs lacked standing. The Pacific Justice Institute which represents plaintiffs in the case issued a May 12 press release regarding the then-upcoming 9th Circuit arguments.

U. of Ca. crossed the line on this one.
By saying that not all religion is incompatible with evolution? I suppose they could have remained entirely silent about religion, but what they said isn't opinion -- it's unquestionably true that not all religion is incompatible with evolution.
What was their point in saying it? REally? We all know this. The state was establishing some churches as more right than others. Is that their job?
Okay, Barb, I'm cheerfully willing to accept that interpretation. though, I don't think it matters what their purpose was here, just the effect. They should have remained silent on religion.
Amen, Bro! lol
