Darrow statue unveiled by atheists poking at him with umbrella

Stand in the right spot, and he's looking right at you. Well that's that.  The statue is here.  There was no fuss.  There was no protest.  Two days later, the statue still has its head and no spray paint.  Despite various media outlets trying to manufacture controversy, there was very little.  What a surprise, I say dryly and sarcastically. Longtime readers will recall my ongoing commentary on this story ( here , here , here , and here ).  Most recently a blogger who goes by the name "Friendly Atheist" got riled up interacting with a local opponent of the statue, June Griffin.  She was talking about militias and opposition to the statue, and I suspected it was hyperbole, which so far it appears to be (the militia, not the opposition).  Mrs. Griffin did not attend the unveiling, but she did leave a message for us in front of her store: "FAX" is an advertisement for her business.

Here's another of my presentations from the recent Is Genesis History?  conference in Dickson, TN.  In this one, I do a very brief survey of creationist thought down through the ages.  Remember as you watch that I'm barely scratching the surface with this one.  There is much more to be said. Someone ought to write a book... Please remember to pray for our building project!  Learn more at coresci.org/building . Feedback? Email me at toddcharleswood [at] gmail [dot] com.
