Now for an out of context quotation...
....500 years of scientific reasoning, experiment, and deduction to
support the literalist....
Dont you mean induction? Historical sciences are usually based on some
mutated breed of induction. Not that induction makes the science any less
valid or compelling. In science, it is a distinction I have come to find
interesting. If not, please give your reasonings for calling
evolutionary aspects deductive in method.

Education is the most powerful ally of Humanism, and every American public
school is a school of Humanism. What can the theistic Sunday Schools,
meeting for an hour once a week,and teaching only a fraction of the
children do to stem the tide of a five-day program of Humanistic teaching?
