Bill Dmebski has just reproduced the offending email Comer sent out (he took it from the Dallas Morning News).

Here is the offending e-mail:


Sounds like a pretty innocent e-mail to me. Writes Demsbki:
As you read it, keep in mind that The Center for Inquiry is a virulently atheistic organization (see here for a conference they did in November). In reading the email below, ask yourself: What if someone in the same position as Chris Comer forwarded an email about a forthcoming talk by Ken Ham at the Fundamentalist Tabernacle in which he would support creationism in public education?

Come on Bill, what about this one instead:

"What if someone in the same position as Chris Comer forwarded an email about a forthcoming talk by William Demski at the Fundamentalist Tabernacle in which he would support ID in public education?"

Rather than editing my above post, I would just like to say that I seem to be having problems spelling "Dembski".

As they say, "All science so far!"

It's good we let these guys keep talking, 'cause they just ruin themselves by doing so.

Why not question something for a change?

Someone called "alext" managed to answer Dembski's question at UcD. I'll reproduce it here just in case it gets deleted.
i'm sure that example would be similar to Uri Geller advocating spoon-bending in Physics class. thing is, creationism isn't on the science curriculum. genuine science is.
in Forrest's case, to continue the analogy, it's more comparable to James Randi exposing Geller's techniques and explaining why Geller shouldn't be peddling his dressed-up pseudoscientific crap in schools.
