funny!

[Charles Brown <cbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Very nice article.  Another positive result of teaching creationism as well
as evolution might be that in the debate with creationism, an evolutionist
may be forced to clarify and explain evolutionary theory more than if it is
taught by itself. Arguing in a debate forces sharper presentation. In
contrast with its opposite in creationism, evolutionary theory is more
clearly defined. Evolutionary theory is "intelligible happenstance" or
"rational chance". These qualities are forced to our attention and made
explicit in trying to explain and distinguish it from "intelligent design".

I would have posted to the list but it has nothing really to do with
economics.  Although I do wonder if the Christians could perhaps be
persuaded to produce a "faith based" economics teaching pack.  It would have
the distinct pedagogic and political advantage of being neither less
scientific nor more faith-based than the standard textbooks.
