Story here. As the editor of Scientific American put it:
"Embarrassingly, in the 21st century, in the most scientifically advanced nation the world has ever known, creationists can still persuade politicians, judges and ordinary citizens that evolution is a flawed, poorly supported fantasy."
At some point, there has to be a backlash by "people of reason" and friends of the Enlightenment against this nonsense--or at least a backlash by the Chamber of Commerce types who know full well that stuff like this makes Georgia look ridiculous. (May I propose that we all make a concerted effort to use "people of reason" as an honorific much as "people of faith" is bandied about as an argument-stopper?)
