The Prescience Of Our Founding Fathers

Apparently, they thought of everything. [David] Barton declared,

"As far as the Founding Fathers were concerned, they'd already had the
entire debate over creation and evolution, and you get Thomas Paine, who is the
least religious Founding Father, saying you've got to teach Creation science in the
classroom. Scientific method demands that!" Paine died in 1809, the same
year Darwin was born.

You know David Barton. His "textbooks" are listed on Wisconsin Homeschooler and he was the first lecturer at Glenn Beck's "university."
