D-Merit Badge

a required pass to be able to enter Darwin Party circles, the “D” standing for “Darwin”. The pass takes the form of a pledge of allegiance to 100% Darwinian natural selection, or a sufficient expression of revulsion at creationism, such that the security guards know you are not one of “them.” The pass gives one freedom to present contrary data at conferences or in publications, including the same contrary data creationists shout from a distance outside the gates. First use: 3/19/15 commentary.
