Please, take a good look at the 'controversial' photo. I did.
I saw a teenage girl, apparently waking up in the morning, disheveled, with an expression that says "Oh no, not another school day."
I saw NOTHING that could be called 'sexual'.
What kind of people is it, who see nudity and immediately think of sex? What kind of people read obscene meanings into simple images?
I think this has exposed the prudery and hypocrisy of many who call themselves 'Christian'.

'Expelled' Correct on Darwin, Hitler Link, Says Christian Group

There is, in Christianity today, an attempt to depict Science as a religion; which word I define as "doctrines without proof". Under cover of this falsehood, some Christians demand equal classroom time for the cosmology of Genesis (though, strangely, they do not ask for the creation stories of third-party religions to be taught also).
And here we see the same falsehood used to slander what is called "Darwinism". The very name is chosen to mislead!

Let me speak some truths here.

[1] Science is the process of explaining the evidence; and a scientist places his or her faith ONLY in the evidence. They do not place their faith in anybody's words, including Darwin. This is why the very term 'Darwinism' is a false description of evolutionary science.

[2] Science is not a philosophy. It has no concept of good or evil because they do not exist outside of the mind. When Science discovers a process called "survival of the fittest", that does NOT imply that anybody should implement a similar social process. Science can help you to predict the consequences of your actions, but it never tells you what to do.
