I only had a minute and thought I'd look into what this was about. I found what I expected ... a JOKE!

Here's what Steve Forden's link is TRULY about :

Please consider making a financial donation (by PayPal or other ways) to support Darwin Day .

Let's spell this out, folks, just so that there's no confusion :
these people are asking for donations to help promote their religion and their #1 demigod - Charlie Dee.

[BTW, they'll accept credit cards, stocks, bonds, properties, $$$cash$$$ - heck, they'll take anything, even your kid's lunch money! Add them to your will ... tithe faithfully to the cause ... worship at the Charlie altar ... AND, come tax time, you may write the whole thing off - just as you could for any other recognized religion.]

Oops, time's up ... wish I could 'play' some more but I've got serious work to do. Ta - ta.

But, Jorge, you didn't tell us how you plan to celebrate...

I believe Jorge is going to celebrate by continuing to think up new definitions of "religion." Actually, I believe he's a bit POd that nobody is listening to him.

Did jorge post? I must have missed it. He is not even on ignore. (opens new tab and rereads the thread) Oh there he is!


HI jorge. Are you buying the Wedgewood Commemorative plate for Charles Darwin this year? Given that the Wedgwood Fortune financed his trip on the Beagle it's only fair they get something fiscal back for their investment, apart from sharing in the general weal that Darwins ToE has provided.

I plan to spend the day challenging all comers to a game on my Charlie Dee Dart Board (I've never lost!).

Posters are already up in Clemson... They usually put a banner down the side of the Biology building. Our conservative campus yawns and waits for Mole Day.

Can't we call it "Origins Day", its a bit more inclusive.

You can celebrate Darwin Day in church!

On 12 February 2006 hundreds of Christian churches from all portions of the country and a host of denominations will come together to discuss the compatibility of religion and science. For far too long, strident voices, in the name of Christianity, have been claiming that people must choose between religion and modern science. More than 10,000 Christian clergy have already signed The Clergy Letter demonstrating that this is a false dichotomy. Now, on the 197th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, many of these leaders will bring this message to their congregations through sermons and/or discussion groups. Together, participating religious leaders will be making the statement that religion and science are not adversaries. And, together, they will be elevating the quality of the national debate on this topic.
