Tim. Absolutes go out the window. Humans are no longer a special creation with special privileges and responsibilities. Quoting Dawkins again:

"Notice now that 'pro-life' doesn't exactly mean pro life at all. It means pro-human life. This granting of uniquely special rights to cells of the species Homo sapiens is hard to reconcile with the fact of evolution".

Can you give any reason why many religious people oppose the teaching of evolution?
