According to the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/23/us/23darwin.html):
In the long-running culture war between evolution and creationism, Philadelphia is firing the latest shot.

Nine academic, scientific and cultural institutions around the city are holding a Year of Evolution, a series of exhibitions, seminars and lectures to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin next February, and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his seminal work, “The Origin of Species.”

Bravo Philadelphia. Now, if you can only get your sports fans to stop booing Santa Claus.

I wonder how many picket lines, threats of violence and outright vandalism will have to be endured by these exhibits and the people supporting them?

Post more later, gotta go throw rocks through windows at our local planned parenthood.
Fundamentalist's family night out, you know.
