pete! Are you there? pete! Did you read my post about the absurdity of the phrase "evolutionary propaganda"? I don't seem to have had a response from you on that one ... pete ... ?

Anyway, on the bus the other day I was thinking idly about why anyone would want to propagandise the findings of evolutionary biologists when suddenly a blindingly obvious thought struck me! Evolutionary biologists have nothing to gain from propaganda - but creationists do! Just think of all those hell-fire preachers and fundamentalist zealots in the churches and on the lecture circuits of the Deep South and the Mid-west (and probably Essex, Gloucestershire, Northumberland etc., etc. too). They're probably all making a 'nice little earner' and have lots of power and influence over their (gullible, pious) flocks too. But there's a huge and unavoidable cloud on the horizon: the findings of modern science. That science makes it obvious that the Bible is just an old book full of myths and none of it is literally true - as they've been preaching for ages. So they pump out loads of pseudo-scientific nonsense about evolutionary biology being 'wrong' and all evolutionary biologists being wicked deceivers. All of the stuff that you parrot is propaganda in my book, pete!
