In the News: Evangelicals urge museum to hide man's ancestors |
From the article:

Powerful evangelical churches are pressing Kenya's national museum to
sideline its world-famous collection of hominid bones pointing to
man's evolution from ape to human.
Leaders of the country's six-million-strong Pentecostal congregation
want Dr Richard Leakey's ground-breaking finds relegated to a back
room instead of being given their usual prime billing.
The collection includes the most complete skeleton yet found of Homo
erectus, the 1.7 million-year-old Turkana Boy unearthed by Dr Leakey's
team in 1984 at Nariokotome, near Lake Turkana in northern Kenya.

What gets me is these evil fuckers insist that it is their
beliefs we have a problem with.
Heck, I don't invest a moment of my time into worrying
about what they believe. I'm far to busy worrying about &
responding to their actions to worry about their beliefs.
