Posted by Josh Rosenau on November 20, 2007 While the shirt preshrunk is peddling does nothing for me, I can’t argue with this:
Now say what you will about zombieism, but at least it?s an ethos. Well, okay ? it?s not so much an ethos as it is an unrelenting, ravenous craving for brains.
I feel that way about creationism sometimes. I start to respect the IDolators for their attempts at making inhuman silliness seem warm and fuzzy and serious. Then I remember that they’re trying to destroy my mind.
Joshua Rosenau spends his days defending the teaching of evolution at the National Center for Science Education. He is formerly a doctoral candidate at the University of Kansas, in the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. When not battling creationists or modeling species ranges, he writes about developments in progressive politics and the sciences.
