Salman Rushdie, you rock my world.

"Intelligent design, an idea designed backward so as to force the antique idea of a Creator upon the beauty of creation, is so thoroughly rooted in pseudoscience, so full of false logic, so easy to attack that a little rudeness seems called for."

Kick ass. Hopefully this entry about this article and my post to del.icio.us will remind me to buy some of this man's books so he can have a few more pennies of royalty money. Also, there's always his interview/conversation with Terry Gilliam on the Lost in La Mancha DVD special features, which y'all should check out if you haven't seen it.

Drag! I'd hoped I could be on the side of both science and religion, but apparently that's not possible.

Um...I'll pick...okay, which one is shirts and which one is skins?

I liked the point that science can be accepting of religion only if religion is also accepting of science, and that as long as either side has extremists, the other side will too. Either way, you probably want to be on the side playing shirts, because you're gonna need a suit of armor, and that could get pretty chafey on bare flesh.

Practical! I like the cut of your jib, woman.
