Caldwell Rides Again

By Ed Brayton

The Pacific Justice Institute (not to be confused with the Pacific Legal Foundation, where Sandefur works) has put out a press release about the 9th circuit court of appeals hearing their appeal of Caldwell v Caldwell. No, this is not Larry Caldwell suing himself (though given his penchant for filing frivolous lawsuits, such a suit is probably inevitable), it's his wife Jeanne suing Berkeley and Roy Caldwell over the Understanding Evolution website.

Their complaint is that the site mentions that not all Christian denominations reject evolution and it has a link to position statements by various denominations endorsing evolution. They say this is an endorsement of those positions, but that is quite absurd as it is merely a description of them. Nowhere does the site say those positions are correct and the opposing positions are wrong, it merely points out that some Christian denominations accept evolution.
