There was just an article

There was just an article some ignorant woman wrote in the local paper (article not online Sad ) called "The Godless Delusion." She basically summed up what was said there and ended it with a complete non-sequitor - don't remember exactly but some nonsense about all they are missing is the love of knowing God or something like that. She gave absolutely NO reasons/evidence for her position. wtf

Matt Shizzle has been banned from the Rational Response Squad website. This event shall provide an atmosphere more conducive to social growth. - Majority of the mod team

More important is that he discusses why it's important to teach ID so that students will undersand what will happen to them when they reach the limits of their own knowledge.
