| Message | *Evolution* is nonsense? That's not a widely-held view, I think you'll find. |
| Date | 03:07:05, October 10, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Repeal of the 'Evolutionism and Creationism' Act |
| Message | Oh damn. I meant "Creationism". Sorry, my brain is fried. |
| Date | 12:03:39, October 10, 2005 CET | From | Aloria United | To | Debating the Repeal of the 'Evolutionism and Creationism' Act |
| Message | Oh ok. Gotcha. IC: Well, Aloria United believes Creationism should be allowed its say, although it should be heavily subsidiary to evolution. We don't think banning it outright is fair, but it shouldn't be allowed more than a mention. |

| Message | How is the updated proposal? |
| Date | 05:09:39, October 11, 2005 CET | From | Chaos Party | To | Debating the Repeal of the 'Evolutionism and Creationism' Act |
| Message | It is the belief of the Chaos party that thoughts on the creation of the universe should be reserved for the collegiate level where students are more capable of weeding through various points of view. No theory is currently without holes or debate and should not be taught as fact. I shall vote to strike down this proposal its current form. |

| Message | Then let it be so. |
| Date | 23:11:13, October 11, 2005 CET | From |  Fair Capitalism Party | To | Debating the Repeal of the 'Evolutionism and Creationism' Act |
| Message | This bill only allows basic RE, not the teaching of creationism as fact, indeed the teaching of the many subjects could inavlidate it. |
