Science minister to launch book debunking evolution?
13/09/10, 5:48 pm

THE MINISTER OF STATE in charge of science is to launch a book denouncing evolution as a ‘hoax’ at an event in Dublin on Wednesday night, it has emerged.

Conor Lenihan, the junior minister for science, technology, innovation and natural resources, will launch a book by Irish author John J May entitled ‘The Origin of Specious Nonsense‘.

A representative of Lenihan’s constituency office confirmed that the minister would be speaking at the launch of the book, telling a user on Politics.ie that Lenihan’s decision to launch the book did not necessarily mean that he agreed with its contents.

Has he nothing fúcking better to be doing talk about making a laughing stock of himself and the country.

Fairly sure it was the A&A forum here that started this story: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056030584
Few of us e-mailed the TD in question and spread it around so you can thank said people for the embarrassment caused. :pac:
