I tell ya, the religious fanatics ...Amen, Mr. Loon. I tell ya, the religious fanatics are doing their damndest to hijack the last vestige of our civilized (?) society - the hallowed halls of academia. I have been following a story in the Houston Chronicle about a "school" called the Institute for Creation Research. Seems this ESTEEMED (HaHa) destination of higher learning is appealing to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (whining is more like it) because they have been denied the authority to offer a Master of Science degree in, well, anything. Let me say that again: a Master of SCIENCE. They have been rightfully denied since creationism is NOT A SCIENCE. What will it take to get that through creationists' thick skulls (which, by the way is a marvelous byproduct of evolution). I am a scientist by trade, and yes, I DO take this personally. Thanx for bringing attention to this subject, Loon.
