Methinks the creationists are making way too much of this (of course). Britain celebrates and commemorates the lives of many of their greatest scientists and artists. Does the fact that tens of thousands of people visit Shakespeare’s Birthplace every year, mean that Shakespeare is a deity fit to be worshiped? Sir Isaac Newton’s birthplace is a National Trust property that is open to the public.

The quote from the Nature article is nothing more than a cute turn of phrase (and not a particularly good one at that). Trust Creation Safaris to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Britain withdrew Darwin’s home, Downe House (outside London), from consideration as a UN World Heritage Site, and Nature seemed downright disappointed.1 An article quoted Darwin scholar James Moore saying, “Muslims go to Mecca, Christians go to Jerusalem, Darwinians go to Downe.”

He got all but the last part of that right. The darwinists go to hell. At least if they don't, it's despite darwinism and not because of it.

Oh yea! Anytime a person’s house is preserved is a good indication that that person is utterly, irredeemably, Evil and the philosophy he/she espoused borders on a false religion.

Who's with me?

This seems to equate Darwinians with believers in a religion, but Nature quoted this proudly.

I used to point out Darwinism was faith based on the Crevo threads until the Darwinites got mad and went home to their own site.

If they are true to form, they'll cut and paste from this thread and discuss it among themselves where the logic of their arguments won't be tested.

I visited Beethoven’s house. That makes me a Concert Pianist.
