A. I can’t comment on that. I mean, I don’t know the scientific community so that would be outside my realm. But I think they’re often conflicted. I mean, once again we– as we said, we extrapolate many times microevolution and macroevolution. As the illustration earlier with the pole vaulter training for a mile, whatever those extrapolations are merely– they fit in the realm of historical science. There’s no testable way that empirically you can– you can say that we go back in this period of years, this is the way it was. We can’t do that. Q. You can’t comment on that, but can you comment on whether or not it would be of value for students and value for teachers to have the words instead of just used the word evolution at least to try to differentiate between what– when they are using the word evolution, in what sense they are using it? A. Yes. Yes, I– that needs to be done. That’s all I can say. Yes, emphatically. Q. Okay. Mr. DeHart I thank you for your time. CHAIRMAN ABRAMS: Th
