"Intelligent" Design? Atlanta parent reacts to textbook sticker war
"God created earth and man in his image," another parent, Patricia Fuller, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Leave this garbage out of the textbooks. I don't want anybody taking care of me in a nursing home some day to think I came from a monkey."

7. First off...
Ms. We-Came-From-An-Invisible-Man-In-The-Sky needs to take a look at the credibility of her own beliefs before spouting off about my "morals" of evolution. Second, we evolved from Apes, which are as advanced from monkeys as we are from the Apes. Finally, She shouldn't worry about anyone taking care of her in a nursing home, because she has Jebus and that should be enough.
