A lot of you have probably already seen this, but for those who haven't, give it a read, it's brilliant.
I've heard about the correspondence but never had a chance to read the letters for myself. The experiment itself was amazing and horribly tedious. I find Schlafly to be a rather distasteful person and fail to understand why someone who is "supposedly" educated would fall for such a trivial God-of-the-Gaps argument. Even if he disproved evolution, what would that mean? He simply disproved evolution, nothing more. The problem of having evidence to support a deity still remains to be collected.
These arguments are really beneath us given our current collective knowledge and cognitive abilities as a species. They really are. I shake my head in disbelief anyone would ever consider Convservapedia even remotely valid. Critical thinking alone would point out the inconsistencies and utter fraud that it is, never mind the contradictory scientific evidence.
