Hero Creationists Fight Evolution With Vandalism To Biology Teachers’ Cars
Dinosaur Wars 2011 brings you this update from Gainesville, Florida, where creationist wingnuts are attacking the vehicles of University of Florida biology professors with religious pamphlets and rusty nails, because that’s how you formulate an argument if you’re an idiot. Or… we don’t know, maybe it’s secretly clever, because these individual specimens are among the best evidence to support the theory that even if evolution once existed among humans, probably now it has just given up. Which still means evolution loses, therefore wingnut victory. Has the strategy finally become a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Eh, we’ll go with no, that is too much credit. They mostly sound annoying.

From the Independent Florida Alligator:

In a string of events occurring over the past four months, the professors’ cars, which were parked in the Bartram-Carr Hall parking lot, were vandalized.

First, religious letters were left on the cars, and then pro-evolution bumper stickers and Darwin-fish emblems were scraped and torn from the vehicles. Most recently, nails were put into the tires.

1. I think I would lose it and take it to the next level
What you do is freeze a can of shaving cream, get it in the car of one of these bastards, and when it thaws it expands filling the entire car. Science works whether you believe in it or not.

2. Sigh
So the tyranny has come back in full force?

Nails put into tires, next jack boots breaking windows in homes and then murder..

This is how they roll...people defend yourselves.

9. Agree. Ideology plus religion plus stupid equals danger and the
possibility for violence.

"What would Sheldon Cooper do" Sheldon is one lab accident away from being a super villain so you know he's good at teaching people a lesson.

7. Sounds like a criminal conspiracy to me...
Systematic property damage by an organized group... I think you could stretch our terrorism laws to apply.
