Prominent antitheist and self-styled atheist Richard Dawkins has written a new book, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution. Ironically, he admits about all his previous pro-evolution books:
Looking back on these books, I realized that the evidence for evolution is nowhere explicitly set out, and that it seemed like a good gap to close..
Naturally, CMI is preparing a book to answer Dawkins latest. In a chapter about alleged bad design, Dawkins had a section about the loss of wings and evolution of features like halteres, the little drumstick-like stabilizers behind the one pair of wings on flies.
To set the stage, Dawkins related the theory of English evolutionist (and former debate partner1) John Maynard Smith (19202004) about the evolution of flying creatures. Maynard-Smith argued that...

This country is under assault by revolutionary evolutionists. And as the Christian church shrinks in this country, the revolutionary evolutionists are taking its place.
Really?! On the list of ideologies and "groups" hellbent on limiting our freedoms, stealing our money and ruining our country, "revolutionary evolutionists," all 3 of them, don't even register. You're nuts.

Last night PBS had a special on a family of Islamic freaks who walk like dogs on all 4s.
How dare they! Get up and walk, freaks!
Their odd gait was due to a rare set of genetic and developmental circumstances coming together. First, their mother recalls that initially all of her 19 children started off walking with a bear-crawl (i.e. on their feet rather than their knees). Second, due to an inherited recessive genetic mutation, they have a non-progressive congenital cerebellar ataxia that impairs the balance children normally use to learn to walk bipedally. Not being able to manage the balance needed for bipedal walking, they perfected in its place their initial bear-crawl into an adult quadruped gait.

Facing the truth is hard, eh? Did Free Republic begin as a defense against "Radical evolutionists?" With confidence, I can say an emphatic "No!" You're telling me that the number one issue with conservatives in America is evolution? Priorities, man, priorities.
