The Union was formed by the voluntary agreement of the States; and these, in uniting together, have not forfeited their Nationality, nor have they been reduced to the condition of one and the same people.

Our creationist detractors charge that evolution is an unproved and unprovable charade — a secular religion masquerading as science.
