My bet is on Niles Eldridge, author of the book The Triumph of Evolution and the Failure of Creationism. His is v. cool.

But man, we needed more evolutionists to stick it to the creationists of the world. this sucks.

I will never, ever understand why evolution and creation have to be mutually exclusive.

But the "battle" still makes for interesting reading, sometimes.

i'm working out a deal with the creationists as i type-- if they get to teach the bible in biology class, then i get to teach evolution in church. Fair's fair!
