Actually, I find it kind of funny that this should come up today, what with
it being the 75th anniversary of the end of the Scopes trial and all. There
was quite a discussion (read: childish argument) between a couple of
scientists on Science (vs. religion? :P) Friday today on NPR. Did anyone else

when some rabid Gore backers cornered John McCain last week.).
