"I brought my baby to touch the wall, so that the power of Darwin can purify her genetic makeup of undesirable inherited traits," said Darlene Freiberg, one among a growing crowd assembled here to see the mysterious stain, which appeared last Monday on one side of the Rhea County Courthouse.

"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."
"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.
You are free to believe what you want to believe and I am free to ridicule you for it.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Guess what, uncommondescent linked to the same article ("the faithful gather to worship saint Charles", 5th sep 2008 - I won't link). At least one UD reader failed to see that it was a joke. Moderator DaveScot filed the post under a new category he created - Poe's law which wikipedia defines as follows:
| Poe's Law — Without a blatant display of humour, it is impossible to tell the difference between religious Fundamentalism and a parody thereof. |
There is irony here on more than one level.

DaveScot must think "Darwinists" would actually do such a thing, then. That's rich.
Hey, Kil, congrats on 6,000 posts! |

Also, it is impossible to tell whether or not the UDers really think so or if they simply take it as a joke.
Reminds me of these really annoying "comedy moments" when characters keep on asking "but did he know that I knew that he knew" and so on. |

Heh. I hadn't notices until you pointed it out. When compared with other members over the same time period, which is since the beginning, I still have a low post count. But then, I strive for quality over quantity unlike the rest of the rabble who post on SFN. 
Anyhow, thanks!! |
