She’s just written an op-ed<\/a> in the wake of Rick Perry’s recent statement<\/a> that Texas teaches evolution and creationism [his word] because evolution is “just a theory out there.” <\/em><\/p>

Coulter takes this opportunity to remind us that she dedicated a third of her 2006 book <\/em>Godless to demolishing evolutionary biology. Apparently the scientists who have published over 59,000 papers on the topic of evolution since she published her book<\/a> didn’t get the memo. <\/em><\/p>

To rectify that situation, Coulter now informs us that “it is a mathematical impossibility, for example, that all 30 to 40 parts of the cell’s flagellum — forget the 200 parts of the cilium! — could all arise at once by random mutation.” <\/em><\/p>

Of course, nobody is saying they evolved all at once by random mutation. Nobody except for Ann Coulter. To see what scientists are actually saying, you can start by reading this review<\/a> that presents a detailed hypothesis about the incremental evolution of the flagellum and the cilium, based on actual experiments<\/em>.
