“Tide gets clothes cleaner.”
I had some fun last week with the evolution slogan, “Teach the Evidence,” in response to this at The Panda’s Thumb and the film “Flock of Dodos.” The filmmaker of “Dodos” pointed out that ID proponents do a better job selling their ideas than evolutionists do, a point wholly unrelated […]
