I do agree about us being related to pigs though. Definitely on the inlaws side though!

Please take him back!
We sent him to Kentucky hoping he'd raise the median IQ.
Apparently it failed.

What was on trial wasn't whether evolution was true, but whether teaching evolution should be illegal.

The trial brought a lot of money into a small town, which was the whole point.

Why all the invective and hostility? I was simply pointing up a little bit of history about the Scopes trial.

Fair enough. I've been down on the people in this forum and on people in general for swilling controversy as a consumer commodity.

Bored now are we? Tired of having your arse handed you on a plate?
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

I got the lecture on "fittest" when I was at Purdue. Prof. said that the fitness was a scale, and the top end of the scale all reproduced. Pressures, like predation and/or climate, affected survival as well. He called it a "cloud of fitness, not a single individual's luck".

Maybe you could work on expressing yourself better. You seem to be a bright guy, but all this lashing out with little or no provocation is making you come off as a bit of a wanker.

Please take him back! I think good old Ken has a rather casual relationship with the truth.
Just off the top of my head, there was the documented attempts at historical revisionism by his group, Answers in Genesis, which tried in 2009 to twist the words of the late Charles Spurgeon into its prescribed young-earth creationist mold.
Much more recently, the man we affectionately refer to around here as “K-Ham” or “Hammy” made the bizarre statement during a Google Plus live chat that he doesn’t “know where people get the idea that people rode dinosaurs.” He went on to say, “I mean, there’s no evidence in the Bible that that is so. I mean, when Job was looking at Behemoth, the description there, there’s nothing to do with people riding dinosaurs. We don’t know how people interacted with dinosaurs.”
While it’s certainly true that there is no evidence in the Bible that people rode dinosaurs (since, you know, dinosaurs as aren’t mentioned in the Bible at all), it is not true that K-Ham is completely ignorant of where the idea came from, since the idea came from him. That is, it can be traced to his books, such as “Dinosaurs of Eden: Tracing the Mystery Through History” (relevant excerpt seen here), and his “museum,” which includes a sculpted, saddled dinosaur that children may scamper aboard and have their picture taken upon.

As for talking the slimy individual back to Oz. Geez I hope he's not thinking of coming back.
