Evolutionary biology reappears on federal grant list

31 August 2006

Evolutionary biology, mysteriously missing from the list of undergraduate subjects eligible for a US federal grant, has been reinstated after a flurry of protest.

David Dunn of the Department of Education says its absence was the result of a misunderstanding. "As soon as the omission came to our attention, we took steps to correct it." However, the incident has left pro-evolution campaigners wondering whether evolutionary biology was deliberately left out by people who find Darwinian evolution at odds with their religious beliefs.

Let's waste more Million$$ of the vain attempt to prove the nonexistence of cross-order "evolution".

All these years and billion$ of dollars only prove that species can evolve into higher forms of the SAME species.

Of course scientist then claim they are a different species .... but they have not ever crossed over to a new order as falsely claimed by evolutionary fascists.

Let the WARZ begin!

Wait, I take it you've already conceded cross-species, genus, sub-family, and family evolution to the evil-utionists?

All these years and billion$ of dollars only prove that species can evolve into higher forms of the SAME species.

Huh?

All mistakes are honest mistakes. That's what makes them mistakes.

Well, no, I could seduce your wife and then get caught. It wouldn't be honest, but it would probably be a mistake (depending on your aim).

"Pro-evolution campaigners" = people for whom Darwinian evolution is a religious belief.

Do whatever you want. Just don't 'dis their god.

Why is it that Darwinism has become not just a religion, but a plank in the leftist agenda?

The amazing thing is that evolution was NEVER left off. Period. There was ONE evolution major that got dropped, which was REDUNDANT with the rest of the evolutionary majors.
