I just hope Collins has learned some lessons from his two faux pas. The first you mentioned above. The other was his appearance with D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Ministries in a Coral Ridge produced screed against evolution by natural selection, saying it sparked fascism in Europe (can Kennedy and Lively have it both ways?). Kennedy’s ministry would have been labelled a hate group if evolution were a minority group of humans.

.

So I hope Collins has a bit more common sense than he has of late shown.
