Well, it looks like the creationists (oh, wait … I’m sorry, it’s intelligent design, not creationism. However, I hear that the ID label is quietly being swept under the rug after the Dover fiasco. I wonder what will be next.) are making themselves at home here in Florida. Two creationism<\/strike> intelligent design rallies are coming next month<\/a>. And just in time for the elections, too. How convenient.<\/p>\n

This conference will enable Christians and others to use simple evidence to demonstrate there is in fact a designer of life and that he is Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

The wonders of living cells will also be portrayed on stage by large models of the “molecules of life,” including a split-open DNA model that is simply stunning. This will be an eye-feast you’ll never forget!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, what these folks have forgotten is that during a certain recent court case, creationists<\/strike> IDers had to admit under oath that there is no actual evidence for creationism. But never mind that little technicality. Their target audience didn’t bother to actually follow the case’s blow by blow. The judge was an activist after all!<\/p>\n

I think we need to be prepared for a wild ride when it comes time to revise the state science standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
