Ted, this is supposed to be a conservative news forum. We are supposed to at least pretend that we are educated adults, yet you bring this to the discussion:

I thought Freepers who lurk on the crevo threads might find this interesting. The talk.origins web site is probably the source of 90% of the materials which evolutionists on FR link to.

Never end a sentence with a preposition.

(I am sorry. I just could not resist.)

Best English usage would be "to which evolutionists link". Nonetheless this is a case in which best usage is so far from the language as it actually works in common practice that the best usage would sound affected to most people.

This is the sort of English up with which I will not put.

Yeah. I agree. A preposition is a very bad thing to end a sentence with!

I recall that Winston Churchill responded to someone criticizing him for ending a sentence with a preposition with the famously convoluted, "This is the sort of pedantry up with which I will not put."
