Things that won't go away--cockroaches, Keith Richards...and the Terry Schiavo nuts, who've found themselves something new to glom onto:
A Christian biologist is suing the prestigious Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, claiming he was fired for refusing to accept evolution, lawyers involved in the case said on Friday.
PZ Myers has more on this, including the fact that plantiff Abraham's lawyer, one David C. Gibbs III, represented Schiavo's parents during that particular example of whack-loonery. But it's in an earlier post that he highlights the true absurdity:
If he thinks he can get a half-mil for wrongful termination on this, I'm going to march down to the local fundie church and demand a job as youth pastor, which I will prosecute by explaining the absurdity of god-belief to the little kids in Sunday School, and then I'll sue when they fire me. This isn't simply firing someone for incidental, private beliefs—it's firing him for practices that actually conflict with the stated purpose of the job.
Abraham is now working at Liberty University, where all creationist poseurs who claim to be scientists go to die.
Exactly.
