I wonder why it is that many (most??) people who criticise the Bible

comment I have yet encountered in the world-wide debate that was

One of the Chinese palaeontologists working on a major dinosaur deposit
in that country --- fossils that in many ways defy Darwinian theory ---

our government. In America it is acceptable to criticise the
government, but apparently very risky to criticise Darwin."
