Your tax dollars at work

[tikistitch]

Spotted near Exit 110 in southern Oregon.



Been wanting to snap a photo. Yes, even in a Blue State, teh stoopid sometimes reigns. Especially with folk who spend money on billboards (there are actually two of them within a few miles of each other). Most self-respecting simians we know would be emabarrassed to be related to the guys what put them up anyways.

EDIT: Just looked up the referenced web site, for the LULZ. Didja know, contributions to the fellas what put up the billboard, Who Is Your Creator?, are tax deductible? They are registered as a charity. In Minnesota.

We quote:

Who Is Your Creator uses media, including display advertising, to raise awareness of the serious misrepresentations and lack of scientific proof for the theory of Evolution, Naturalism and Darwinism.

See? They are a scientific organization.

Who Is Your Creator is a 501(c) 3 public charity registered in the State of Minnesota and donations are tax-deductible as provided under the IRS tax code. (Who Is Your Creator has no paid directors or employees.)

Minnesota? Y'all should be proud, P.Z.! (/joke)

So, you're wondering, how did they come to their very scientific conclusion about the theory of evolution? Are they perhaps crack biochemists from MIT? Rogue geneticists at Berkeley?

We believe that God is The Creator, and that Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. Our hope is that we can Advance His Kingdom by countering the false foundations for the faith of evolution and to offer Christians more opportunities for sharing the Gospel.

Oh. That. Okey-dokey.

EDIT: Oopsie, PZ, whose blog people actually read (unlike, say, this one) put a link here, so I've temporarily enabled anonymous comments, so all the crazy people can have their say. For extra credit, you can take the good perfesser's advice, and visit Monkey Lady's forum. Ya, rilly, she has a forum.

Here's how my brain works: I used to work in a university library where we'd occasionally get pamphlets from naturists (i.e., nudists). (Don't know what the heck collection they were headed for, but we did.) So when I saw "Naturalism" on that web site, I immediately though, "She thinks all us scientists run around nekkid?"
