Religion and science, funny Op/Ed

[The Bad Astronomer]

I have a friend who is a science writer, and he sent a letter to his local newspaper (in Amish country) where he quoted my science fair speech (http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/?p=26). The paper didn't print the whole thing, but I thought folks here might get an ironic kick out of the letter they printed directly below it (http://www.dailyitem.com/archive/2005/0627/edit/let.htm).

Ah yes, the old 'Trees are pretty and babies are cute, ergo evolution is wrong' argument.

That argument always reminds me of the Miss Universe pageant. "No way those are real. And that butt? It can't be natural. That was built."

That logic is impeccable... ;)
