Everyone should check their nearest news outlet and check out the District Court Ruling against ID I Have pasted a quote from the ruling judge and the storey from the MSNBC news website below: "HARRISBURG, Pa. - "Intelligent design" is "a religious alternative masquerading as a scientific theory" and cannot be mentioned in biology classes in a Pennsylvania public school district, a federal judge said Tuesday, ruling in one of the biggest courtroom clashes on evolution since the 1925 Scopes trial. Dover Area School Board members violated the Constitution when they ordered that its biology curriculum must include the notion that life on Earth was produced by an unidentified intelligent cause, U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III said. "We find that the secular purposes claimed by the Board amount to a pretext for the Board's real purpose, which was to promote religion in the public school classroom," he wrote in his 139-page opinion.

For my own colleagues in Peru, finding these avenues for funding has been difficult and, mostly, inefficient. A single web-based list would be a great asset. If such a master list already exists, I would like to pass along its location to these South American collaborators.

I saw some paleontology going around once. It was a couple of people attacking each other over the orientation of fossils on a display. Actually I think I saw that twice in just the last 3 months or so. -Michael Kishel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Duncan McLean" <d.mclean@sheffield.ac.uk> To: <paleonet@nhm.ac.uk> Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 1:34 AM Subject: Re: paleonet RE: delisting > Oh come on Jim, its not that bad.
