Don't you just love the quote by Rev Clement McCoy:

"It's a stain on a wall, and nothing more," said the Rev. Clement McCoy, a professor at Oral Roberts University and prominent opponent of evolutionary theory.

I only hope these heretics see the error of their ways before our Most Powerful God smites them all in His vengeance."

Now I see, too. I never checked because it was funny as it stood; didn't want to be disappointed.
