It's not a matter of evolution being true or not. Evolution is simply the scientific theory that explains the phenomena best, so far. There probably isn't any such thing as a universal truth, but it doesn't matter to science.

Creationism not only doesn't explain the phenomena best (since it fails Occam's Razor) but it doesn't follow scientific method and therefore is not a scientific theory. Therefore it cannot be taught as science, QED.

Also, there are lots of religious people that don't believe God created life, even Christians for whom the creation myth is a metaphor.

Comment "Google" not outside UK (Score 1) 104

However the Google pages that get returned by all UK ISPs are in the UK, because those ISPs use DNS hijacking to return their own servers' IP addresses (with a nice Google skin) whenever UK citizens ask for Google, and those servers are in the UK.

As to why they do it, something to do with complying with UK censorship legislation.

The killing people with a car touches a nerve.

In the UK you can just run over a pedestrian and kill them and it's treated much more leniently than armed robbery even if you killed nobody.

Now you'll get life imprisonment for hacking GreedCo's computer and showing that they paid the CEO more in a day than all the lowest ranked employees put together earned in a year.

Actual humans? Meh. But some fat cat's profits? They must be protected at all costs.
