If I were a biology teacher and I wanted to get 15 minutes of fame,
I could, you know, ignore everything I was taught in college about evolution and, like, you know, pretend that there is no fossil record, or that specialized complex animals don't exist, or "forget" that evolution/adaptation of bacteria in labs is easier to detect and witness than in nature because of massive differences in lifespans... You know, things of that sort.

I'm not a biology teacher. And I haven't spoken to the Washington Post about evolution. But I'm just sayin' that IF I was one AND I wanted to cash in a little OR I was a religious zealot masquerading as an expert on science, I could have one printed voice against many thousands by saying something outlandish, like there really isn't much evidence of evolution.

1. hey, you don't need no fancypants letters after your name!
didn't you get the memo?

but you do need a hook. Maybe dress as a platypus and carry a sign that says "explain THIS, Godless secular humanists!"
