Well, the catholic church's actions (and, just in case you didn't know I'm not a catholic) are very commendable. I mean, you can either listen to the Pope's chief astronomer (and there is a conservative pope) and think that he's just saying stuff to get attention, or to fold in the poker game vs. evolution. But then, if you want a real example of someone who says dumb stuff to get attention, just watch the 700 club for 2 minutes.
And really, I'm a proponent of the whole "we're all in the matrix" theory in Kansas. Now that the Kansas Board of Education has done what they've done, my cause can start to really get some Matrix classes in schools. Yay! Or, you know, we could start to learn about how the world was created by a flying spaghetti monster! The possibilities are endless...
