Your code segment is completely wrong.  Do not use raw access types.
Use Unbounded_String, which does automatic garbage collection.

If To_Unbounded_String offends you, then just rename that function as an
operator:

  function "+" (S : String) return Unbounded_String renames
    To_Unbounded_String;

Why stop at evolution and cosmology, though? Let's make sure that the
schoolkids of Kansas get a really first-rate education by loosening up
the teaching standards for other so-called scientific ideas that are,
after all, just theories. The atomic theory, for example. The theory of
relativity. Heck, the Copernican theory--do we really know that the
universe doesn't revolve around the earth?
