Post Harun Yahya spam

I just got this unsolicited e-mail from Batu Aras <batu_aras@gmx.net>:
Quote:
THE QUR'AN LEADS THE WAY TO SCIENCE by Harun Yahya
The way to examine the universe and all the beings there in and to discover Allah's art of creation and announce it to humanity is "science". Therefore, religion adopts science as a way to reach the details of Allah's creation and therefore encourages science. Just as religion encourages scientific research, so does scientific research that is guided by the facts communicated by religion yield very rapid and definite results. This is because religion is the unique source that provides the most correct and definite answer to the question of how the universe and life came into being.
I do not know where they got my address, but this message stands as a reminder that it is not necessary to be a Christian to be a creationist.

There's a thought. What would we get if they breed?

Well, that NCSE article is concerned we might be about to find out. It isn't going to be pretty, whatever it is.

Well, it certainly wouldn't evolve, that's for certain.

Albion, just a note of BB etiquite (sp?). Please don't use the URL code to identify a site with a very long address using its real name. This will make your reply push out the sides of the window which shows the thread on people's monitors, and we will all have to keep scanning back and forth so that we can read each line.

Do something like this:
<a href="http://www.ncseweb.org/resources/rncse_content/vol19/9510_cloning_creationism_in_turkey_12_30_1899.asp" target="_blank">Creationism in Turkey</a>

It's much easier on the eyes!

Thank you

NPM

Sorry, no idea how to, and with my luck I'll run into disaster after disaster if I try and probably wreck the entire board. I'll just not post long links.

It's not hard. After you use the URL button, just edit the text it inserts. Anything between square brackets you should leave alone, but anything else can be modified as you want.

Or you can just leave it to your ever-dutiful moderators to clean up the mess.
