Good times for evolution deniers

The evolution deniers have had a good few weeks.  Idiot/Savant notes Turkish creationists have found an excuse to block Dawkins’ webiste.  There’s Sarah Palin’s dinosaurs-walked-humans view, but that’s no worse than the current Oval Office situation. 

Most troubling for me is Professor Michael Reiss’ resignation from the Royal Society.  While what he said was open to misrepresentation his basic points are little more than a proposal for effectively teaching science.  Unfortunately Reiss’ resignation will no doubt be an opportunity for religious fundamentalists to pretend it is they who want an honest debate on the science.
