re: #197 opnion

Ok, let me try again. I would assume that the Minister of Science did not doubt Evolution, whatever religion he may profess. I am merely asking if there was something definitive that prompted the question.

But in fact, when the question WAS first asked, he demurred, saying that it was a religious question, and invoking the argument from ignorance. It ws thus obviously a question that needed to be asked of a science minister who zeroed out funding for basic genome research.
