Creationist offers $10,000 to anyone willing to challenge literal interpretation of Genesis in court

RE: Creationist offers $10,000 to anyone willing to challenge literal interpretation of Genesis in court
I'd like to see the ground rules for this. It smacks too much of Hovind's $250,000 challenge, in which he gets to define what evolution means, what evidence is allowable and with a dubiously vague mention of an "impartial" committee of his own choosing. Not to mention the Dawkins Caveat of giving creationism undeserved reflected credibility on a shared platform.

For me, though, this is the best bit:

Quote:"The evolutionists thereafter could read that transcript and make their case a bit stronger on the next one they contend against and we can do the same," Mastropaolo said. "We can read the transcript and not have have to go through the same process over and over and over again without any let up, without any resolution."

In a word: evolution.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
