Hi all,

I've been seeing what is supposed to be a quote from Eugenie Scott a few
places around the net but (I asked) it is not from her. So does anyone know
the source of the following quote:

Quote: "Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like
trying to play chess with a pigeon -- it knocks the pieces over, craps on
the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory."

I seem to remember reading this somewhere but don't remember where.

Anyone...?

Sorry, can't help, but it is a bloody good description and I really
wish I had said it :)
