    IDiots believe that biological evolution is "just a theory", but this

    definitely off the board.

    This seems to be some weird attempt to support Florida "Republican"
    political values, and keep them from any unwanted public evaluation and attention.

    I doubt it. Intelligent design and creationism are supported by the
    Bible, and that should be enough for anyone. Biological evolution, on

    Desantis is the chosen one.
