Why not focus in a bit? Talk about how natural selection works, and why. Talk about "the fittest" in terms of context, rather than some kind of abstract superiority. As a former JW who was stridently against "evolution" I still found the actual mechanisms compelling, and fascinating too. That's what will engage the interest, stimulate the learning, and lessen the baggage.

Answering questions: -- I've seen Dennison speak (and liked it) but have not read his books. I'll add it to my to do list. -- I have read about the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Great stuff. See it here: http://www.venganza.org/. -- Jim's post makes me sad, though it doesn't surprise me. It does make me glad to be a New Yorker. I do think that the majority of NY State teachers do give some real attention to evolution as it's been part of the statewide end of course Regents exam for literally generations. It almost goes without saying that it doesn't get the attention it deserves, but it does get attention. I lived in Michigan for seven years and knew several bio teachers (nice, smart hard working teachers in "good" schools) who didn't teach evolution. It's also a minor part of the Earth science curriculum here and gets a question or two most years (that translates to 1 or 2 percent of the grade). -- I think when most people say that God speaks to them it's metaphorical but there are some where it is something else. I tried writing in this response an elaboration on that, but I can see myself coming across in ways I don't intend without being very careful, and I'm too tired for that. My first blogswarm... Interesting stuff. Thanks for reading. Don Thanks for the interesting responses. Answering questions:

When people say that god talks to them, do you think that they hear a voice in their heads? I'm serious. I always assumed that when people said that they "talked to the Lord" or "the Lord spoke to them" I thought they were talking about some metaphorical thing--they saw/heard something that they took for a sign. But lately the possiblity has been raised that they might not be metaphoring, to coin a slightly stupid word, but that they have been hearing completely convincing voices. What's your take?
