Those whack job conservatives advocating a more theological approach to the teaching of science give other right leaning folk a bad name. Such a position is outragiously ambiguous.

Wow! The members of the Church of Evolution really do rally to the cry when their religion is attacked, huh?

I'm not going to wade into this argument or even read the article. Just wanted to say that this thread has one of the all-time great titles.

Reading this article, it seems to me it's the other way 'round. It's creationism and ID that are being "attacked"--mocked, actually--and its the creationists and ID folk that can't laugh at this very clever joke directed at them, and have their panties in a bunch.

I laughed at it. Why can't you?

Well, Calvert is intellectually dishonest. The Spaghetti Monster is not meant to support evolution theory, it is meant to mock creationism/ID. I'm sure he knows this. But he can't say it. All he's got is the lies.

The poor kids in Kansas stand a very real chance of not being taken seriously by the world after they graduate.

Oh, I'm definitely laughing at them, not with them.

Well, you just remember this moment when your day of judgment comes and the Big Spaghetti Monster casts you into the fires of Hell for your faithlessness!

I believe that the scientologists should also get equal time.

Not that ridiculous compared to other more popular creation myths.
