My oh my, am I scared to blog about this story from the Telegraph right now. Nevertheless, rest assured that if I were to interview Bobby Henderson about his faith, I would do my best -- iTalk is a wonderful thing -- to quote him accurately and make sure that people know where he is coming from. That is what journalists do. Luckily, it does appear that he is rather candid about his views (even though his summary of the Intelligent Design mainstream is laugh out loud funny). But, hey, he is trying to be funny.
In an open letter to the Kansas Board of Education in July, Mr. Henderson wrote: "I think we can all agree that it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can choose for themselves the theory that makes the most sense to them. I am concerned, however, that students will only hear one theory of Intelligent Design. "I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster."
Oh, one more thing: I am 99.9 percent sure that the Scopes trial took place in Tennessee, not Kansas.
I will go hide now.
