Ms. Pie's disturbing initiative is just another sign that the
Fundamentalists have scented blood in the water and that they
sense the impending discovery of a "scientific proof of God".
They are absolutely correct about this, and the discovery has already
been dubbed the SPOG (scientific proof of God).
This discovery proves that, as Ms. Pie put it, "both" Creationism and
Evolution are scientifically correct.
I have repeatedly warned the scientific community that their continued
ignorance of the SPOG is going to result in a public CRUCIFIXION OF SCIENCE
when it is learned that the discovery has been known since 1997 and
systematically ignored and suppressed by the scientific community:
