If creationism is the zombie lie behind all biology and geology, the Governor's Mansion in Louisiana might stand in for the castle ruins where the burnt and battered monster is reanimated and sent off to terrorize the countryside again. There's certainly no shortage of creeps and crackpots lurking in the political shadows to cast lesser characters in the horror-genre analogy. But when it comes to one specific zombie lie about evolution, ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have found our Igor and Wormtail rolled into one!
Standing at the witness table, [Darrell] White [a retired millitary judge and member of the Creation Museum] held a cane in" one hand and with the other was shaking a shirt that read, “natural selection.” According to White, it was the same as the shirt that Columbine murderer Dylan Klebold had worn (Eric Harris, not Klebold, actually wore the shirt), and teaching evolution would lead to a “Columbine-style shooting” in the schools of Baton Rouge.
White, a lifetime member of the Creation Museum in Kentucky, has spent years trying to connect evolution to the Columbine massacre. In a 2006 article for the creationist site Answers in Genesis, he proclaimed that Charles Darwin should be “dubbed the patron saint of school violence.”
