Nice to see

From article here: Martha Wise, who has left the Ohio school board to run as a Republican candidate for the state Senate, is supporting a Democrat to replace her on the school board because he's the only candidate opposed to teaching 'intelligent design' in science classes. “My party leadership will be upset with me,” Wise said. “But I feel it’s the right thing to do.”

(Those of you who follow ID-ism will be unsurprised to note that one of the three ID candidates is an engineer. I'd ask what it is about engineers and ID, but I think I can guess.)

In related news, ex-Aussie Kent Hovind continues to entertain with his unusual interpretation of "render unto Caesar". Am I right in supposing that $9000 is just under some mandatory transaction reporting threshold, BTW?

(And why is LJ telling me that 2006 is an 'inappropriate year value'?)

(It's odd, because if any engineer applied ID values of "intelligent" to design machines the same way humans were supposedly designed, they'd be fired immediately for gross incompetence.)

Yes indeed. Yay for running nerves in front of the retina!

I thought it was blood vessels anyway. Or is it both, Eyeball Master?

It's both, but the blood vessels are less of an issue (and probably harder to redesign). The nerves are what cause the blind spot.

LOLZ.
I used to watch Dr. Dino years ago.
Remember his $1,000,000,000,000 prize for any scientist that can "prove evolution"? He's hilarious and a loon.

Never knew he was an Aussie though.

My mistake, I had him mixed up with Ken Ham, another prominent creationist with the same initials. Ham left Queensland for the USA the year Bjelke-Petersen got kicked out, though I don't know whether that's coincidence...

LJ's date/time system is done messed up, currently.

Will... not...rerant... about... engineer/ID thing.
