Giraffes are evolving into monkeys. Creationists are concerned for the future existence of giraffes. [source]
Reports of faeces-flinging girapanzees (Pan giraffa camelopardalis) are not yet confirmed, although there is documented evidence that the new species displays a fondness for bananas
Commercial concerns
Concern has been expressed by the CAU (Chimpanzee's Actors Union) that the onset of evolutionary competitors may undermine their long-standing contract with PG Tips as tea drinking girapanzees seek to gain a foothold in what has traditionally been recognized as a chimpanzee-only stronghold.
Chimpanzee' concerns are not with out basis, the CAU has claimed, as competition from other 'lower order' primates has been witnessed in recent years.
MyGodlessLife.com cannot confirm which of the 'lower-order' primates the CAU was referring to.
David Coppedge, formerly a JPL lead information technology specialist on the laboratories' Cassini mission to Saturn, is suing his employer for religious discrimination.
Mr Coppedge claims that he was demoted after he voiced his beliefs about intelligent design, the theory that the organisation of biological life and the universe indicates the existence of an intelligent cause.
"The written warning against Coppedge that was issued last April (2009) was expunged from his personnel file this year after his supervisors and manager revisited the matter. But he was not restored to the team lead position because the company continued to believe that his conduct in distributing the DVDs and advancing his views on intelligent design was inappropriate."
"Mr. Coppedge has always maintained that intelligent design is a scientific theory, but JPL has illegally discriminated against him on the basis of what they deem is 'religion."
It is hard to support this claim when in 2005, Judge John E.Jones III, in the famous Kitzmiller vs. Dover, came to the following conclusion;
Teaching intelligent design in public school biology classes violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States (and Article I, Section 3 of the Pennsylvania State Constitution) because intelligent design is not science and "cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents."
Whilst this federal court case was specifically related to Intelligent Design (ID) being taught in schools, the legal status of ID has been clearly outlined as;
The overwhelming evidence at trial established that ID is a religious view, a mere re-labeling of creationism, and not a scientific theory. (page 43)
State Representative, Rick Brattin (R-MO) has introduced yet another ridiculous piece of legislation, known as the "Missouri Standard Science Act" - or HB1227.
Brattin says the bill is “not about religion.”, but as has already been noted in the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial, '[T]he religious nature of ID [intelligent design] would be readily apparent to an objective observer, adult or child - Judge John E. Jones III.
