University of Colorado police are investigating threatening e-mails with anti-evolution messages sent to professors at the Boulder campus. Police Cmdr. Brad Wiesley said Friday the e-mails claim to be from a religious group but investigators did not know whether more than one person was behind them.

    Gotta love how tolerant and friendly those creationists are. Stuff is borderlining terrorism.. These threats are the exact same thing the Taliban does in Afghanistan to keep people from getting educated.

      Well, you wonlt see the evangelical creationists buying that argument anytime soon, because their truth is an absolute truth, and everything else is heresy.

        So what is the difference between this group sending the emails and the taliban?

        We'd all better pay heed these guys never have power in the US.

            Religious nuts. And they wonder why so many people have a problem with Christianity. Where are the "moderates"?

            If this was a story condemning the creationists for being 'Christian' you could bet your bottom dollar they'd be here defending them. Where are they when the extremists do something crazy?

                    Now hold on, there! The whackos here in Idaho are every bit as nutty as anyone that Colorado can offer!

                    OK, so Colorado Springs has Focus on the Family...but Idaho actually elected Helen "Black Helicopters" Chenoweth to Congress

                      Actually there is a BIG difference between Islam and these characters. Very few Christians would support this kind of behavior, even secretly. While Al Qaeda has wide support among Muslims.

                        You would be surprised how many Christian people support stuff like this or fire bombing Abortion clinics, or assaulting gay people. Heck even see some people who call themselves christians here on NS talk about genocide as an option to deal with Muslims. and use terms like "Let God sort em out"...

                        But its by far no majority, just like its by far no majority of Muslims who support terror as you stated. I mean seriusly, its like people forget that muslims equal 22% of the entire worlds population. Of course more will support attacking the US than other religions do, they have more people! its a simple numbers..

                        Suprisingly those type of people think they are very American, when in actuality they are very unAmerican.

                        I feel that type of extremism is a form of terrorism, because I don't trust them at all, as with other lying hypocrites-with added misplaced passion and very narrow, closed minds.

                        Do they really believe (as I've heard a few say) that creation began 6,000 yrs ago??? wow! from 2 people in 6,000yrs the population is more then 6 1/2 billion!!!! with only something like 100,000 extra people being born then dying each year in todays world.

                      Actually there are 1.3 billion Muslims in the worlds as opposed to 2.1 billion Christians. Just google and find out in a few seconds.

                      "Of course more will support attacking the US than other religions do, they have more people! its a simple numbers.." Not

                        That's what we got from that Middle-eastern "Go forth and multiply"....which begat us deforestation, extinction of plants and animals and ultimately,... Global Warming!

                        I have always wondered, if there IS a GOD (depicted as a Loving and All-knowing One), why did he reveal his Revelations only to....Jews? Was the rest of his Creation not worthy of EQUAL attention?

                          Given that I can feel your contempt for my people, I know that you're not really interested. However, according to Jewish tradition, He did offer the commandments to the rest of humanity. They rejected it for various reasons. For example, the children of Ishmael rejected, "Thou shalt not steal". The children of Esau rejected, "Thou shalt not commit murder". Only the Jewish people accepted the entire Ten Commandments.

                            Interesting that you never hear about an atheist phoning in a bomb threat to a place like SMU or Notre Dame with anti-creationist babble. I guess there's probably something to be realized from that.

                            Funnier yet is, these are virtually ALWAYS conservatives who call themselves Good Patriotic Americans... they only have a **small** problem with remembering the Constitution... well, never mind, I guess you can only remember something you're actually read in the first place.

                              All fundamentalists are off their nuts. I went to my brother's church once and his Pastor exclaimed from the pulpit, "I wish we could save them, then shoot them."

                              Do you suppose we could persuade Al to change his agenda to an Armageddon smack-down of sorts, where we send several million of our most radical militant Fundamentalists to Israel to fight an equal number of terrorist Muslims. Maybe he could make his money on ticket sales and T shirts.

                              Jews could bury them near the Dead Sea and in a few years Israel would have a source for it's own oil supply.

                              Just a thought ...

                                Except the lives of people who don't believe every word of the bible to be FACT!!

                                And doctors who perform abortions!

                                Oh, and the gays!

                                Do you suppose, that God or the Creator, or whoever made everything, when this kind of lunacy happens, occasionally looks at his significant other, shakes his or her or its head and says sadly, "What the Fuc-k is wrong with those stupid people? Maybe I should just flush the whole bunch down the crapper and start over with the cockroachs in charge!"
