Interlibrary Loan of the day

Captain ILL prefers to avoid controversial or icky subjects when he chooses the ILL of the day, but the cover of Denying Evolution: Creationism, Scientism, and the Nature of Science was too farmin' cool to pass up. It turns out that many scientists believe that life evolved over time into more and more complex forms through the process of natural selection and mutation. Now Captain ILL knows lots of scientists, as well as quite a few mutants. The scientists are usually mad loners performing dangerous and unethical experiments; oftentimes they will have hideously deformed faces as a result of some terrible experiment gone wrong. Captain ILL isn't sure we should be taking the word of people like that about something so important, especially since he happens to know that the entire universe was created when it was sneezed out of the nose of the Great Green Arkleseizure.

Captain ILL would never "out" a mutant, but Wikipedia does not subscribe to such high standards:
