Does anyone else think it's more than a bit ridiculous for a scientific
theory to have its own Sunday? Why don't we have "gravity Sunday" or
"quantum mechanics Sunday?" Maybe we should also have a Sunday for all
the
theories that didn't quite pan out, like "Luminiferous Aether Sunday" or
"Steady State Cosmology Sunday." Of course, some churches probably will
have "Ancient Near Eastern Cosmogony Sunday" instead of "Evolution
Sunday,"
but that seems to be just the other side of the same coin.

Ted agrees!
I had a good chuckle with the humorous way in which David puts this. I am
reminded of something that a young astronomer friend of mine said, in
response to certain mutual friends who were very gung ho about the
apologetic/religious aspects of ID. Let's all go worship at the Church of
the Bacterial Flagellum, he said. This is IMO the opposite side of that
same coin.
