Nutcases in Bellingham

I can't fathom how anyone can take this seriously. From the Bellingham Herald:
Blaine woman trying to get anti-evolution initiative on state ballot
Kim Struiksma doesn't think evolution should be taught in schools.

So the 25-year-old Blaine resident, along with a group of friends from her church, have fashioned Initiative 1040, which "concerns a supreme ruler of the universe."

The initiative would prohibit "state use of public money or lands for anything that denies or attempts to refute the existence of a supreme ruler of the universe, including textbooks, instruction or research," according to paperwork filed on the Washington Secretary of State's Web site.
Jen and I are both deeply spiritual and we both have strong science backgrounds. Evolution is a fact of life -- there is so much evidence for it that to claim anything else is to mis-use your God-given intelligence and to shut your God-given eyes to the truth. Next, they will be taking up Bishop James Ussher's robes and claim that the Earth is only 6,000 years old. And these ninnies want to regulate what public school children are taught...
