It was the DI. Which would explain the "have you stopped beating your wife" nature of the question.

Ohioans want the scientific evidence for and against evolution taught in schools. Me too. Now, where exactly is this scientific evidence against evolution? No really, I can wait. Take your time.

Cheers,

This is encouraging. Over here the perception is that you footballers are as thick as pigshit. Are other football teams following Ohio's lead?

The chief creationist has a letter to the editor in today's Columbus Dispatch: <a href="http://www.dispatch.com/editorials-story.php?story=dispatch/news/editorials02/may02/1257533.html" target="_blank">Don't discount poll on teaching evolution</a>

The Cleveland Plain Dealer did a long article on this guy,<a href="http://www.cleveland.com/debate/index.ssf?/debate/more/102120300212250.html" target="_blank">here</a>, basically showing that he is a fundie.

Hopefully the people who make such decisions will ignore him.

Could someone post it here or email it to me? I don't feel like signing up for more spam.

The evidence against evolution? Hmmm...one day, God decided he was lonely, so he pointed his magic finger out there..er...somewhere...and "POOF!", within seven 24 hour days he made the universe and stars and oceans and vegetation and animals and people (but not necessarily in that order).

What more evidence do you need?
