I have been following this story for some time and thought that this might be a good point to do a round-up of the coverage I have provided so far. You may note a little bit of repetition as in most of the posts I try to give a brief discussion of the possibly oxymoronic concept of “creation science”.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
