It's a page out of the antievolution playbook: using evolutionary biology's own literature against it, selectively quoting from the likes of Stephen Jay Gould to illustrate natural selection's downfalls.
-
Are you saying that there are members at an antievolution blog, who get to post their own threads, and they are pro-evolution?

Price enjoyed some initial success helped in part by William Jennings Bryan's antievolution crusade during the 1920s, but his outsider status ensured that his impact on mainstream Protestantism would be limited.

The same was true of everybody else in the antievolution biz, from Young Earth Creationist Duane Gish to Old Earth Creationist Hugh Ross to every one of the ID gang at the Discovery Institute: Michael Behe, William Dembski, Jonathan Wells, and so on.

Like most of the lower echelon in the antievolution movement, Freshwater dibble-dabbles at pro-ID/YEC information without actually exploring too far lest it interfere with his buddy network evangelicizing.

But I do find it entertaining to ponder what RevolutionMuslim would think if it knew the agenda and political associations of the folks who manufactured the antievolution arguments they use, and vice versa.

Here's a good reason to move away from Louisiana if you have children in school. Or not.
Sometimes I wonder if our country doesn't have a collective death wish.

I weep for the future.
On a possibly bright side, I used to teach science in Louisiana. For the first two years, I taught out of the same text I had used in middle school - it was 20+ years old by the time they replaced it. Perhaps by the time parishes get around to adopting new texts, this nonsense will be forgotten.

That's it. There's nothing for it but for us smarty-pantses to start breeding quicker than those other folks. Who's with me?!

Can I just contribute genetic material? If so, count me in.

Pro, lots of smart people don't want to procreate. That's no excuse for not populating the planet with smart pro-evolutionists. Science has ways. Now--are you with me?! *makes puppy eyes*

Has anyone seen Mike Judge's Idiocracy? Not a great movie overall, but the first 3 minutes are priceless - demonstrating just how the idiots are outbreeding the intelligent. Ah, here it is on YouTube.

Exactly my point, arby. Come on everyone!! Let's contribute genetic material to the gene pool! *dives in*

arby commented on the word antievolution
I have no problem contributing genetic material, I just don't want anything to do with the resulting spawn. My friends in college used to call me the Replicator because all I want to do is replicate my DNA.
C_b, too bad we're both female and thus can only combine efforts via the help of Frankensteinian Science!

It's funny this comment just came up, right after I read this comic! :)
Hey, nothing wrong with some occasional replicating. Just like in Star Trek.
