It may not be as fun as that 700 Club marathon, but even hardcore Bible thumpers will find a way to keep themselves amused during Penn Museum's Darwin Day celebration. The event features evolution teach-ins by local experts, a screening of the BBC documentary Life on Earth, "intelligently designed cookies" served hot in the Museum Cafe and badminton matches with a Chuck D impersonator. "There will be lots of good talks about evolution but we also want to have some fun," says Pam Kosty, the museum's assistant director for Public Information. See, badminton's not so blasphemous, right?
