I Wish My Name Was Steve
Dr. Stephen Rader, professor of biochemistry and RNA wizard at UNBC, models his new shirt from the National Center for Science Education. For those of you who can't click and enlarge, the words in the box say "Evolution is a vital, well-supported, unifying principal of the biological sciences, and the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of the idea that all living things share a common ancestry. Although there are legitimate scientific debates about the patterns and processes of evolution, there is no serious scientific doubt that evolution occurred or that natural selection is a major mechanism of evolution. It is scientifically inappropriate and pedagogically irresponsible for creationist pseudoscience, including but not limited to 'intelligent design,' to be introduced into the science curricula of the public schools."
The back of the shirt, besides listing our model Stephen, notes that it is in memoriam of that very famous Steve the Scientist, Stephen Jay Gould.
I wonder if they could buy some billboard space across the street from the various creation "science" museums that keep springing up?
