Evolution by random chance has been caught in the act by a hardworking
science team.

Creationist Andrew Schlafly objected to the conclusions. Or maybe the
data.
Or maybe the method, or maybe the effort of actually reading the paper to

1. SCIENCE BUDGET: ROUND-OFF MONEY AVERTS LAYOFF.
As WN pointed out last week, $400 million in the $186 billion supplemental
war spending bill, or about 0.2 percent, is for science. It's divided
among four agencies. Still, it allowed Fermilab, the nation's top
accelerator laboratory, to resume its research program and avoid the lay
off of 80 employees. Fermilab has been paying employees from an anonymous
$5 million gift since May. For the top high-energy physics research
facility in the world's most powerful nation to be reduced to operating on
private charity is a national embarrassment. We desperately need change
in our science policy. Somebody's campaign slogan is "change," but
neither candidate ever mentions science.

2. CHANGE: IT SOUNDS GOOD, BUT WHICH WAY IS IT GOING?
It is standard political lore that anyone seeking nomination must fish in
friendly water. Once nominated, they should begin casting their lines...
