Teach the Controversy and Science t-shirts
The site says:
The Science designs are also great:
The designs come in a big variety of colors and are available on hoodies. Via.
'Big Science' is always suppressing The Truth with their blatant pro-evolution anti-wacko agenda: from the fact that UFOs built the pyramids to the reality of creationism and fact the universe is "Turtles All The Way Down".

All designs available in a variety of colors and styles, or feel free to create your own with our custom designer.
