"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

Texas governor Rick Perry (science denier, asshole for Jeebus) throws out the United States constitution so he can have his Christian theocracy.
"Non-political" my ass. One bit of encouragement, however, is that he only recruited 8000 other idiots to join him in his 72,000 seat venue, and none of the other 49 state governors. I have to wonder if Dubya will be there -- it wouldn't surprise me.
