Another gadget my car won't get is Clarion's Auto PC ($1,200). It's a dash-mounted computer that's designed to accept simple voice commands, and will do everything from tune the radio or CD player to retrieve and read aloud e-mail or dial your cell phone from a contacts list.

Evolutionists already have the unfair advantage of scientific evidence. If we can't get creationism in, we cannot allow evolution...
