Evolution is about religion, federal science minister believes
Oooops, another slip of the tongue. Stephen Harper has been so good at keeping his team quiet on controversial issues during the election. But I guess Minister Goodyear just does not think ducking the question about evolution would have any implication on revealing the very heart of the Conservatives on science and religion. This is pretty scary that people of modern days would think talking about evolution is talking about religion. Quite an eye... [Read More...]
