If you’re like me, you’ve probably never read E.O. Wilson’s book, The Creation: A Meeting of Science and Religion. It’s written as a series of letters to an evangelical Southern Baptist preacher. It’s not my kind of book, really, but it’s nothing I’d raise and eyebrow at.

His latest crazy Harvard professor stunt is insane, though. He has decided that the world’s 25 most endangered hotspots could be saved with a low one-time payment of $30 billion. How did he arrive at that figure? I don’t know. He claims that the scientific and religious communities need to come together to save the planet, and that he’s just the man to join them.

While I can respect a lot of what he’s written, this just screams dementia. Well, either that or he’s been terribly misquoted and misinterpreted by the articles I read before writing this. Not that I care too much for accuracy around here. He’s just lucky I didn’t find any Vampire Masquerade Ball pictures…

Why can’t some people just put a Sierra Club sticker on their car, go to Whole Foods once or twice a week, and be happy with it?
