Author bio: Lenny Flank, Jr first became involved in the creation/evolution controversy in 1982, when a local school district in Pennsylvania introduced plans for an "equal time" policy for evolution and creation "science". Lenny helped organize a local coalition of teachers, students, clergy and business leaders to oppose the policy. He is the webmaster of the Creation "Science" Debunked website (http://www.geocities.com/lflank), one of the most extensive evolution/creation resources on the Web, and the owner of the DebunkCreation email list, the largest evolution/creation list at Yahoogroups. During the Pennsylvania "intelligent design" trial in 2005, the DebunkCreation group, with members from the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia, organized a donation of 23 science books to the Dover High School Library, to, as they put it, "increase knowledge and decrease ignorance". Lenny is also a respected contributor/commenter at the Talk.Origins newsgroup and the Panda's Thumb blog.
