Biology profs sent threatening packages and emails for teaching evolution

An individual who sent threatening packages and e-mails to several University of Colorado evolutionary biology professors also e-mailed messages to CU-Boulder chancellor G.P. "Bud" Peterson.

CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard said the individual appeared to be "casting a wide net" among university officials, sending e-mails to Peterson, the vice chancellor for undergraduate education, the head of the ecology and evolutionary biology department and several other faculty members. Hilliard said Peterson is taking the messages seriously.

"He's concerned," Hilliard said. "Our faculty cannot work and conduct research in a climate of fear."

CU police detectives began investigating the threats, which claim to be from a religious group and which criticize the professors for backing evolution, in the past week. On Monday morning, faculty members found packages of documents slipped under lab doors.

snip:
In the messages, the individual cites plans to file legal charges against the professors, compares the professors to child molesters and mentions a pastor's message about killing "the enemies of Christian society."

"But I believe it is far more effective to take up a pen to kill the enemies of Truth," the message states.

I hate stupid people so, so much.

Fucking nutcases. I wish they would all just go somewhere else. Preferably somewhere in another galaxy. They are relentless, aren't they? They have caused so much harm to this country. They are stupid beyond belief, and self-righteous 100%. I don't wish them harm, I just want them to go away.

Why do they persist in inflicting their own delusions on the rest of us ? Just let them live in their own private psychotic world, and leave the rest of us alone.

the arms of the authorities. :)

... threatening packages to religious institutions teaching creationism...

:rofl:

by creationists.

Anybody heard what happened with that?

They wouldn't know the Truth, even if it came up and bit them on the ass! As blood spurted from the wound they would deny that anything was wrong! Just a trick of the light.

I swear stupid people are taking over the planet! Or maybe they already did!

Arghhh! Ruuuuun!

Just more religious nuts backing terrorism. Religious extremists are religious extremists, whichever God they claim to serve.

University and school teachers should be able to do their jobs without being threatened with fatwas!

that man evolves over time.

Score another for the knuckle-draggers

but then they also constitute evidence against intelligent design.
