DOVER - With song, scripture and a sermon about "myths" that could destroy America, members of one church yesterday morning weren't worried about televangelist Pat Robertson's warning that God might not be there for Dover.

"My brother in Memphis e-mailed me asking if I was leaving Dover because God did," Dick Sweitzer chuckled before services at the Dover Assembly of God Church. "I told him no, we'll just kick the devil out of Dover!"

Yet...

"Evolution could not have happened," the Rev. David Sproull, pastor at Dover Assembly of God, said yesterday from an altar surrounded by a cross, flowers and the U.S. and Pennsylvania flags. "There are too many missing links. The head of the French Academy of Science says that evolution is a fairy tale for adults."

Sproull pointed to the irony of the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial in which Tennessee biology teacher John T. Scopes was fined $100 for violating a state law that forbade teaching evolution. Sproull said back then, some opposed teaching only one theory of creation, Christianity. "But we're doing the same thing today, except that Christianity is out and evolution is in," he said.

Ya gotta wonder if some of these 'religious leaders' ever went to public school, or a public college, before getting frocked.

Announcers voice: "In a total reversal of fortune, the Christians fumbled the ball on the 20 yard line, and now the evolutionists are looking for blocks as they run the ball back up the field."
