Proof that there is no intelligent designer

Exhibit A: Fundie Christofascist thugs who put a religion professor into the hospital because he planned to teach intelligent design as a mythology:

A University of Kansas religious studies professor is recovering from a beating he says was based on his opposition to Christian fundamentalists.

Paul Mirecki told Douglas County sheriff's deputies he was beaten early Monday morning on the side of a rural road outside Lawrence by two men who'd been tailgating him in a large pickup truck. Mirecki told the Lawrence Journal-World his attackers made references to the controversial remarks made on the Internet denouncing Christian Conservatives and Catholics.

The men punched him about the head and shoulders and struck him with a metal object, he said.

Mirecki recently wrote online that he planned to teach intelligent design as mythology in an upcoming course. He wrote it would be a "nice slap" in the "big fat face" of fundamentalists.

The remarks caused an uproar, Mirecki apologized, and the university announced last week the class would be canceled.

Tuesday, deputies circulated descriptions of the attackers and their vehicle, the report said.
