A few days ago, the Oklahoman ran a letter lamenting yet another State Senate bill trying to introduce the teaching of creationism in our schools. I wrote that following this, we "can therefore count on a new barrage of 'evolution is false!' letters in the coming days and weeks" from the paper. Obviously, I was right, as the other day we heard from David Wallace from Warr Acres.
It's not worth getting into Mr Wallace's "letter" (see what I did there?), since it just rehashes the same arguments that have been covered several times already. Never mind that Mr Wallace misquotes things, and never mind that Mr Wallace doesn't know hat science is-- once you drop the "evolution cannot be scientifically verified" line, you have proven yourself to be an idiot.
But the Oklahoman is all too happy to run letters by idiots-- letters that say idiotic things-- as long as they push their theocratic agenda. And thus we get this drivel. It is an embarrassment, but to be expected.
