Skeptical? Or not skeptical enough?
I stole the above cartoon from a dKos Diary. The Diarist reprinted it with permission from this wonderful site: http://www.nearingzero.net/
I know this is old, but for those who are new to the Creationism controversy and have a problem with teaching evolution, read the following article:
The Creation/Evolution Continuum
by Eugenie C. Scott
http://www.ncseweb.org/resources/articles/1593_the_creationevolution_continu_12_7_2000.asp
That article (with an even niftier look of the graph) was reprinted in Skeptic, Vo.10, No.4, 2004.
If you still have a tin-foil hat on, read this for a sobering thought:
The Truth is Out There…Way Out There
by George Case
http://skeptic.com/eskeptic12-30-04.html
...and if you are still skeptical of Lakoff, read this wonderful series:
