Response from Article: In earlier posts I commented upon the atheist advertisements on buses in the UK. Today I focus on the infamous 'Praise Darwin' billboards by the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Just in time for Darwin Day, February 12.Earlier campaigns hit as many as 15 states with slogans such as "Imagine No Religion," "Beware of Dogma," and "Keep Religion OUT of Politics." In addition to "Praise Darwin" the subtitle reads, "Evolve Beyond Belief."
Darwin Day is celebrated around the world annually by scientists and museums, and according to a Web site devoted to the celebrations there are currently 301 celebrations planned in 31 countries, not counting the new Madison billboard. The billboard features the Foundation's signature stained glass window motif along with King James biblical type face and also includes a picture of Darwin.What will the result be of the campaign? Will Christians become less vocal over the issues of ID in public schools? I think those in the Science community who oppose intelligent design ideas should become angry over the campaign. The ads are implying an anti-religion agenda exists among all evolutionists. Teaching evolution will be perceived more than ever as teaching against God.
