Beer = Evolution

Beer at The Eagle, Cambridge, England

Michael Ruse has a piece in The Chronicle of Higher Education, “Philosophers Rip Darwin, “ about academics who criticize Darwin/evolution, yet are ignorant of what they are criticizing. Ruse gives plenty of examples.

Here’s another:

Beer is often sold at football games. Beer has nothing to do with football and beer does not make the players better athletes. If someone said, “I don’t like beer,” would it be logical to respond, “Oh, you don’t like sports?” It is true that evolution is often included in science books, but that does not make it scientific by association.

That’s Kent Hovind, and you’ll find that and more to bring your lunch up in his “Open Letter to: Rush Limbaugh” (I guess he blogs from prison).
