Mr Gray , you are totally ignorant of what I have read or not and it
seems to me that you understood what you wanted to understand and not what I
meant : The meaning of " teaching of Darwinism " in my message is , OF
COURSE , the teaching of what Darwinism is and obviously not Darwinism
itself as a religion , which it never was . Please learn at least one thing
here : There is no state religious education in France ( it only exists in
private religious schools ) since here religion and beliefs are considered
as strictly personal matters . Here YOU are the only one to show "
closemindedism ". Regarding your scornful opinion about the French , which
only commits you , seems to be your very own participation in a recent
anti-France mud-flinging campaign in the U.S. and is completely irrelevant
a famous [ in France , of course ;-) ] French [ sorry ;-) ...] writer ,
Georges Courteline , said : " To be considered as an idiot by a fool is a
fine gourmet delight . " ( " Passer pour un idiot aux yeux d'un imbécile est
une volupté de fin gourmet . " ) . You make my day * . Franck Frydman ( *
I am an admirer of Mr Clint Eastwood
