This is just a jesture, nothing more. Symantec has had its head up it's tail for so long it thinks thats what the world looks like.
Leave it to the government to spend money just to make a statement that could possibly have more negative ramifications than positive. If there is no game plan or drive to a specific goal opponents will be more successfull at blowing the results in another direction. This does smack of a feeble attempt by a do-gooder(s).
If you mean that this is a heavily supported theory with plenty of evidence, I'd say that crap is being implied every time you turn around. It is so pervasive and self assured as to be mind numbing.
What you feel is missing then is the lack of confidence that this theory will be worked out into fact, thank God for that!
That is not science my dear fellow that is a fanatical attitude. You would have my son or my daughter to believe evolution without any question about the base argument and have him embroiled in the details of how we evolved. You aren't satisfied with giving kids a chance to escape the thinking of religious fanatic parents or hear a second viewpoint. You crusade for all kids to be following your "theory" as fact.
That my friend is not scientific, it is ludicrous.
Put as much effort into proving we where created as you put into proving this theory of evolution and see what comes out of that. That would be less of a waste of time and more scientific.
The greatest benefit to man from Darwin's theory as we put it is the sickening blow it gave to superstition. True, it remains quite rampant in many ways but superstition no longer has a tight grip on the human mind, for that I am thankful. Scientific thought and discipline has strong merits if kept in balance with human nature, and awe of the universe and an open mind. Logic would imply that given the immense order in the universe then if it was created, it was created by an orderly being.
But to be watching even the most noneducational "nature" show and have the narrator spew out this fanciful garbage of how we came about is mind numbing. It is as if these fanatics believe that repeating this theory over and over again like a chant will cause it to become so and cause the floodwaters of evidence in support to spill out. It is the lack of evidence that causes these believers to be so mind numbingly insistent.
Science is not the holy grail to mankind's future, or a hallowed way to understand our past. Science and progress held up so high and so stupidly is what has been, and still is, poisoning us through careless use of chemicals, wireless radiation and in many other ways. This exhibit though will likely as mind numbing as Darwin's fanatical cult following.
It is amazing to me also the religous fervor over the "Theory" of evolution. We are not allowed to say that a theory is just a theory in school anymore.
And the fanatics on the other side, did God create Darwin so you can get your punching practice in? How about we make Darwin blowup dolls to send you to vent your frustrations on. Keep it to yourself please, or least quit giving me a head ache.
Darwins theories though wrong have done some good, we must have a balanced view of life to really have life. We must be able to think and reason and make choices otherwise we actually mock our creator.
Go home all you fanatics, get some sleep and use your god given brain for a change!

It is all very well and good to tell everyone not to use someting and that if you were an expert you would know better.
Do you really want everyone to pay highly qualified experts to build basic websites?
People use what they can, why not recmend something better instead of blowing smoke?
