[muawiyah]

Muawiyah is not required to know anything about "evolution". On the other hand, he does recognize a "political scientist" when he encounters one.

Now, tell me why you are defending this Futuyama so vigorously? Certainly he's a big boy ~ even publishes books denouncing fundies ~ certainly gotta' be world's smartest man to do that.
