We honestly need another Scopes trial because the first one humiliated the creationists on national radio so hard they didn't even try again until the 2000s.

I wonder if people will be more willing to mention the Bosnia and Cambodia thing now that this is out in the open.
As we saw from that time when people thought he had died, it would have mostly been hagiographies. Not anymore!
