Saw this little tidbit on some other blogs:

However, towards the end of the night, an argument between York and the pair about creationism versus evolution escalated into a shouting match at the pub.

The couple, both biomedical scientists, had been arguing the case of evolution, while York had taken a more biblical view of history.

…

According to Ms Brown, York was making dinner when he attacked the couple outside his tent, stabbing Mr Boa with a kitchen knife as the argument escalated.

How ridiculous! But we all know that heresy is punishable by death. Just kidding (not really).

I know this event probably was not premeditated, but I’ve always wondered at what point in this country will we start seeing the specific targeting of scientists and other rational thinkers by the reactionaries, along the lines of the targeting of abortion service providers. Remember, it isn’t murder if god says it’s justified.
