For a hilariously impolite quarrel between an evolutionist PhD from New York and a hoard of death threat creationists from Lubbock, Texas, America’s premier city of Republican conservatism and redneck intolerance, log onto http://forum.lubbockonline.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/3571/. Topics begin with an attempt to give a mathematically firm proof of evolution to keep the Texas School Board from mandating America’s science textbooks to include the Biblical story of creation as an alternative to Darwin and quickly descend into nasty arguments over Holy and unholy Spirits, personal miracles, the shuck of democratic capitalism, Ted Haggard as the paragon for all fundamentalists and a call by the scientist to civil disobedience to put an end to foreclosures, the dangerously interminable wars in the Middle East and other things that will drive the government to bankruptcy and people to homelessness during Great Depression II. Tailor made for those who placed their hopes in Obama and are now disappointed at his inability to get things done for the people. For a different kind of Internet experience, exchange ideas and insults with devilish born agains who truly believe that God can make 2+3 be something other than 5.
All kidding aside, it is very important to log on and express your opinion to put pressure on the Texas School Board to keep anti-science myth and superstition out of our the children of America’s textbooks for the next ten years.
Dr. Peter V. Calabria
