Falsehoods?

Like the evangelical Christians of America, Bishop Boniface Adoyo, chairman of the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, says evolution is “still a theory”.

Maybe The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster should do some missionary work in Africa. If evolution’s still a theory, the good people of Kenya might be ready to hear the Good News about His Noodlyness, just as the people of Kansas haven’t – but we’re working on it.
