Russell and Carol - hayle and hearty

I nearly choked on my old man's sherry recently when I read about a 'science' teacher in the USA (where else?) who liked to add christian commentary to his science lessons basically saying the science he was teaching was wrong and that his religious view was correct.  He had been sacked it seemed and there was a 'reinstate him' movement from the concerned kids who were praying for him because they now believed science was unreliable.

Of course this was also on TV so there was the hilarious sight of concerned religionists doubting science - their pictures being recorded by camera then beamed by digital broadcasting space satelite technology half way round the world to my flatscreen TV... mobile phones were everywhere as were computers, all working (faultlessly in this case) through the power of prayer it seems... sheesh.
