Signs Of Intelligent Life At The Times

by tristero

The most important thing about this article is not its content, although it does talk about one of the most exciting fossil discoveries in quite a while.The most important thing is that this is the front page lead in the New York Times print edition. This is a hopeful signal that the free pass that creationist Kent Hovind and his ilk got for so long at the Times is finally over. The Times coverage of science issues has improved dramatically since the Dover trial. Let’s hope it continues and they really have stopped pretending as they had for so long that “intelligent design” creationism is a subject worthy of serious discussion.

Meanwhile, it’s a fascinating discovery. Enjoy!
