'fraid not.
I see it fine.
Oh, wait, do you know who I am posting about or do I need to ping her?
looks fine from here...
no pict.
You need to remove the "Scold" filter on you browser in order to see it....
;-)
Teh intarweb is broken, then, cause I don't see it here even after I flush the cache and try again.
I'm glad you point out that there are kinds of teleology.
Cosmic teleology wouldn't be inconsistent with the most general notion that all motion as teleological, whether predeterimined or not. They are necessarily contradictory.
Informative, if not strictly relevant :)
(Which looks fine to me)

Maybe they just don't like Senators. Or IE?!
Truth isn't slander.
Look who's lecturing us about manners placemarker.
I tried it under IE and FF - got the same thing either way. Dunno why they wouldn't like senators, unless maybe it's that bribe I took from the Britannica people...
Natural selection is not teleological by any definition of that word. It has no goal; there is no end to which it *moves*. It is the description of the outcome of the affects of the environment upon the organism. It is an abstraction.
I'm not attempting to ban it, I just don't think it is appropriate for a professor of Religion to use a desecrated religious symbol as a political statement on a web site paid for by the hard earned tax dollars of people who consider it to be a sacrilege.
The Ichthus predated the cross as the identifying religious symbol of Christians during their persecution by the Roman authorities. The Darwin fish is nothing more than a statement of contempt for Christianity in general and what you contemptuously refer to as "fundamentalist" Christianity in particular.
You note that it is your desire to use tax dollars to post a Darwin fish on your University of Nebraska web page. I am not surprised at all that you would think nothing of desecrating a religious symbol to make a political statement and mock those whose religious beliefs are in contrast to your own. Your arrogance is obvious to everyone. You are not the Right Wing professor that you portray yourself to be. A "right wing" professor would show some respect for other's deeply held religious beliefs. You, however, feel no compunction about urinating all over other's beliefs and then calling it art. You and Andres Serrano are blood brothers in that department. Both of you seem willing to use tax dollars to denigrate the religious beliefs of taxpayers.
I happen to have a Darwin fish tee shirt on today,
When I went to college, the professors wore suits and did not denigrate the institutions of higher learning that were paying their salaries by wearing silly T-Shirts with anti-religious political statements on them. Back then professors had class.
I suspect that if a professor wore an "Ichthus" shirt <>< to class at the University of Nebraska (or even an Ichthus lapel pin) that the administration would be all over him like white on rice and he would probably be hauled before some committee who would be more than happy to revoke his tenure and give him the boot. But an Ichthus that has been altered to show a respect for the religion of Evolution and to ridicule fundamentalists or Christians is obviously perfectly ok both with the administration and with you. The fact that you have no fear of wearing that T-Shirt to work or posting a Darwin fish on the University Web site tells me all I need to know about your attitude and the attitude of your superiors.
I dare you to denigrate some Islamic symbol and post it on your web site or to wear a T-Shirt that denigrates some Islamic symbol and otherwise disrespects the religious views of the Muslims at your school.
They aren't necessarily contradictory.
