Equine evolution upsets Helena MT
• Absurd Inurbane Witless
Horse by Juliet Clutton-Brock says that it took about fifty-five million years for horses and related animals to evolve to their present form. That was enough to inflame the more backward citizens of Helena Montana.
Cleasby's request asks the district to remove the book from the library, or at least pages eight and nine, because she says it neglects to address creationism as an alternative theory to evolution.
"There remain too many questions with evolutionary theory to present it as a fact," Cleasby said. "Children and adults need the freedom to question, ponder and seek this very fundamental question of how they came to be."
