I was reading Conservapedia's evolution entry today. If they weren't so serious I would laugh. Then I checked out another Wiki-based site for the same subject, and found a much more balanced article. Things must be getting very bizarre around Schlafly's bailiwick if a site run by the Moonies can make them look nuts.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.
