This eye thing works pretty well

Pharnygula takes down a creationist comic book. See a T-Rex think: "Wow! this eye-thing works pretty good...I think I'll grow another one on the other side of my head!" Myers
responds:
The disturbing thing is that this pack of lies is part of a series of which a quarter million copies have been distributed by Amazing Facts, a "media ministry" (I guess that's what they call it nowadays to avoid the taint of the word "televangelism") based in Roseville, California, and led by a genuine, literal troglodyte, Doug Batchelor. It's 56 pages long, and every sentence is either cockamamie nonsense or outright lies. As a science educator, I have to look at this thing and think ... boy, do I have a lot of work to do.
I learn a lot reading Pharyngula. I guess I should've paid more attention in high school. I don't recall taking a biology course in college, but there were distractions.
