Introducing Michael Okoko

I see my moniker has been modified to “agnostic”. I accept.

That is a really interesting response.
Are you saying this because Nigeria has different laws that any objective court would have to side differently than was decided in the US. Or are you saying that the Nigerian court has different biases and even with the same laws that are in place in the US, the Nigerian court, would have, with the same evidence given, sided with the defense?

Its a matter of probability. Many people here are YECs or OECs and conservative as well (probably explaining why a significant number of Nigerians wanted Trump to win), so its very likely that if there was any such trial, it would have gone in favour of ID or YEC due to bias.

Even in public schools, lecturers freely flaunt their religious beliefs, be they Christian or Muslim. I remember walking into one of the staff offices and hearing a staff call evolutionary theory a “satanic” teaching. There are certainly those who understand and accept evolutionary theory in Nigerian schools or judiciary, but they are vastly outnumbered.
