    I know, I know, the evolution vs creation thing has been flogged to death lately, but I thought this was a great article, with the standard level of Dawkins sarcasm, which used to irritate the hell out of me when I was a dub, and now I just love it.

    On a side note, I've given up and resorted to IE when going to this site. I miss my beloved firefox already, sniff, sniff.

    Nice one, he's always worth reading.

    He's obviously had a bad experience in Kansas though, was he bitten on the bum by a rabid creationist there or something?

    Not all of them, necessarily.

    "In order to live in this science-dominated world, you have to be able to discriminate between science and non-science," said Alan Leshner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. "

    amen.

    so a bunch of conservative kansans want to redefine science? sounds reasonable.

    As the Religious Right tries to ban the teaching of evolution in Kansas, Richard Dawkins speaks up for scientific logic

    I think that even the first sentence gives a misleading impression.
