"You fundies," you write, collectively convicting those skeptical of Darwinism in the 21st century of being the equivalents of those that burned Giordano at the stake for his theories about the solar system. You may want to get your nose out of 16th century history books and pick up a newspaper sometime -- John Scopes lost the trial but won the "war." I doubt you will find any news about the Michael Dinis of the world fearing an inquisition.

Are we to believe that intellectual honesty comes from someone prone to such broad, reckless, and overdramatic generalizations?

he doesn't have to worry about an inquisition because the fundies have been expelled to the lunatic fringe of society

People wanted to hang John Scopes, and they would have given the chance
