I’ve been itching to get at Tony Campolo’s republication of his errors on evolution and intelligent design. There’s a lot on my “to do” list.
Mike at Tangled Up In Blue Guy has beat me to it, and probably done it better than I could have. Go read, “Is, and ought, and Darwinism.” I agree.

My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

Campolo sounds as if he’s a bit like William Jennings Bryan in that he’s a progressive Christian even though he rejects evolution (and apparently for the same reasons as Bryan – at least, as it relates to human evolution). He also seems to misunderstand evolution in pretty much the same way as Bryan.
I mean, of course, the real Bryan, not the Inherit the Wind version.

It took me a while to get to it, too. I later found out after I had written my piece that this was a repeat post from a year ago.
Thanks again, Ed.
