I don't have a problem with them celebrating evolution. In fact, I believe in evolution. But I don't like what seems to be an intentional poke in the eye to persons of faith with this act.
Ithaca is the City of Evil.

Before the Creationists took over, Darwin's birthday was a public holiday in the United States.

Before the Creationists took over...When was that?
The last I time I looked, there was no prayer in public schools, "intelligent design" was taught in very few places, and more and more merchants were banning "Christmas" from their holiday vocabulary.
Those "cunning" creationists...so stealthy in their "takeover" that they actually made it look like religion was being excised from public life.

ahhh, but will they have any mention of all the Geniuses that committed suicide at BigRed by jumping off the bridge??? the Rich Intelligentsia doing a little self cleaning of the gene pool as it were...
the Peoples DemocRATic Republic of Ithaca EVIL!!!

Is it true that liberals have more simian genes than conservatives? Is that why they sell so many banana muffins at Starbucks? Some of the hippies around here look like they can peel them with their toes.

They have their own holidays? Sounds more like a religion than a science....

Anyone hear that woman from Ithica on Limbaugh Friday afternoon? Ithica is moonbat mecca. I used to live 35 miles from Cornell and needed to occassionally visit the engineering/math libraries for research purposes.
Everytime I left that place I felt like I had been soiled and needed to shower.

Is there some significance to Darwin Day being for 5 days?

Sinclair Lewis kept returning to the theme of boosterism in his books.

I wonder if they will be recognizing Cornellians who were winners of the Charles Darwin Award for the improvement of the Human Species?

Did somebody say PRI?
Maybe I should add a darwin fish next to the waterfall "I"?

Since Darwin as well as all the early evolutions were Marxists and Atheists, its seems fitting for Ithaca to have this celebration.

They have their own holidays? Sounds more like a religion than a science.... We couldn't have a religious Christmas party in my high school, so the physics teacher had a Newton's Birthday Party (he was born on Dec 25). We made apples and apple products (including semi-hard cider) the theme.

Since Darwin as well as all the early evolutions [sic] were Marxists and Atheists... Darwin was a Whig politically, and either Agnostic or Deist (I've seen both claims supported) spiritually.
To: Virginia-American
Let's see. Various organizations get together to promote science and intelligent thought in general. It's pretty typcial in Ithaca: people spend lots of time and energy to offer an opportunty for kids and adults to do some thinking and learn a thing or two.
Basically, folks in this forum are grasping to find a political significance here.
