Back on topic, it's only proper that Greeks teach their kids evolution. After all, the Greeks introduced sodomy to civilization.

Sodomy is recorded in both ancient Chinese cultures and ancient Egyptian cultures. Both of which predate ancient Greece.
Besides, if yer a fundie, then you believe God destroyed Sodom for exactly that particular act...a few thousand years before Greece was anything more than a handful of sweaty herdsman humping goats on a hill by firelight.
What, you thought the Greeks were the first ones to try every orifice the body offered? Sodomy was probably invented by the first two male hunter-gatherers that wound up snowed in a cave for the winter.
One, modern Greece, like modern civilised Europe teaches evolution. Second, sumerian tablets talk about this and so does the oldest Bible books and Egyptian papiri, older than any Greek record. Are you........nuts?

Animals also eat their own young, dude. Deal with it.
As others have pointed out, if the Greeks invented it, why does the Old Testament, which was written a good 1,000 years earlier, have a prohibition against it? Were they just prohibiting an imaginary practice in case someone invented it a thousand years later?
Uhm, actually most ancient Greeks believed the world was created from the coupling of Ea and Cronos...Mother Earth and Father Time.
That sounds like procreation to me, not evolution
Slainte!
Illuvatarwen.
My ancestors did not "introduce" sodomy, nor were they the only ones to practice it. Just because homosexuality was accepted didn't mean that all of them were gay. Nor did it mean that homosexuals could marry each other.
And yes, it is proper that we teach our kids evolution. After all, our ancestors made many contributions to science, much more than you ever will, I'm sure.
Know what else they introduced?
Science, schools, hospitals, literature, drama, philosophy; pretty much civilzation as we know it (before the Romans took everything from them).
Sodomy
You must think it very odd of me
But I enjoy the act of sodomy
You might call the wrath of God on me
But if you tried it then you might agree
That you enjoy the act of sodomy
Don't worry if you feel ashamed
It's been around for years
Thousands more than can be named
Are interested in rears
Don't worry about hell
No harm will come to your soul
We're not all Pentacostal
But everybody's got an asshole
Let me tell ya 'bout sodomy
You must think it very odd of me
But I enjoy the act of sodomy
You might call the wrath of God on me
But if you tried it then you might agree
That you enjoy the act of sodomy
It might just improve your sex
It's a hard act to follow
The fact that fundamentalists
Find difficult to swallow
So join me as I sing
Of an activity that's fun
Open up your ring
And try it front to bum
Bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum
Sodomy
You must think it very odd of me
But I enjoy the act of sodomy
You might call the wrath of God on me
But if you tried it then you might agree
That you enjoy the act of sodomy
SODOMY!
Right, because nobody ever buggered anybody else before the Greeks came along.
Hey, ya know what else the Greeks gave us? Democracy.
Considering the fact that the Greeks invented most of the sacred ideals that Christians hold dear, such as the elevation of the soul after death and the idea of gods being born to humans, I wouldn't dis them if I were you.
"the Greeks introduced sodomy to civilization."
On topic, that's a terrible anal ogy (pun may or may not be intended!), and therefore off topic.
