In a desperate attempt to be demonized by billo, I post this statement from the Catholic Primate:

LORENZAGO DI CADORE, Italy - Pope Benedict XVI said the debate raging in some countries — particularly the United States and his native Germany — between creationism and evolution was an “absurdity,” saying that evolution can coexist with faith. . . .“They are presented as alternatives that exclude each other,” the pope said. “This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.”

Come on billo, level some invective on me.

    it is not my party who a majority of Presidential candidates reject the theory of evolution Nor is it my party that is blindly supported by Fox news and billo.

    IT hurts a smart fellow like you I know to have to be assocaited with such a collection but you sow what you reap.

    If you are actually serious about wanting Fox News to go all billo on you, you might try coming to Rendon's attention first.

    I won't hold my breath for the day when "Big Tent" notices this.

    Doesn't fit the story line though; only those evil Christers can be a problem in left-world.

    I condemn it.

    Do you condemn Christian Creationism in the country we actually reside in?

    Gee, if they've got that many creationists, I bet that country's going to sh*t.

    Oh, wait. Remember this?

    ...The only country included in the study where adults were more likely than Americans to reject evolution was Turkey.

    something like:

    "And they called the pope a primate!!!!"

    What's sad is that Billo probably understands that the pope and Billo are primates, and Billo probably understands most Fox viewers do not understand that.
