Well, its extraordnarily difficult to combat creationism memes, as I believe
a lot of US schools are finding - fwiw I have found the best approach in
such discussions is to agree vehemently that all options must be looked at,
and then talk enthusiastically about allowing muslim, budhhist, hindu and
(name your pet faith) in too to give a proper choice...winning by memetic
overload?
