Congratulations to David Fitzgerald and David Seaborg for an outstanding  
Darwin Day event on Saturday Feb 12.  Charles Darwin would have enjoyed it,  too.

The event was an enjoyable blend of foolishness and facts.  The  room was 
packed to overflowing, with people from as far away as Seattle  attracted by ads 
on 3 different websites.  The Italian  popish background simply added to the 
celebration.

The "Evolutionary" game was fun, as people competed to demonstrate their  
considerable knowledge of evolution and creation science, under David  
Fitzgerald's MC skills.
 
The debate was absolutely brilliant, one of the finest programs I've ever  
seen at any Atheist event.  It carefully covered the major points  of both 
evolution and creationism.  David Seaborg was a most  distinguished Darwin, in his 
period clothes, his thorough knowledge, and  his patient, authoritative 
manner.  David Fitzgerald used his  carefully mismatched shirt, tie and sport coat, 
and flashing neon  cross necklace, to create a great Bible-thumping preacher, 
spouting both  creationist argument points and Bible babble.  The debate was 
an  educational hoot for the wildly appreciative audience.
 
Thanks, David & David, for demonstrating once again the depth of  creativity 
and leadership in the Atheist community.
