Response to "Creationist Nuts" Everywhere

A recent submission to the Backtalk section of the NWI Times:

In response to the recent comment from the "creationism nut" who's "glad to be a nut" because "nuts fall from trees" and "...sprout and grow and produce much good fruit." Like the Bible, your comment is full of rich metaphors. And like the Bible, your comment was not meant to be taken literally. The Bible was written in an ancient time by a primitive people who were trying to explain the unexplainable. You may say, "But the Bible was inspired by God." Well, who's to say the Koran and the Baghavad Gita and (for that matter) Einstein and Darwin WEREN'T inspired by God? Evolution doesn't deny the existence of God; it just explains God's plan for creation in a less simple manner.
