You know what would be funny? I'd bet that anyone who actually believes this has never been to an actual college town. I'd also bet that if this guy set foot anywhere near Harvard University, I think he'd think he was in a completely different country. So herewith I provide my Guide for Harvard Tourists Just In From The Flyovers:

-Yes, there are churches in Cambridge. The biggest ones in the Harvard area are Episcopal, Catholic, and Unitarian. If you want that Ole Time Religion, Pastor Corbin sometimes holds court on Saturday nights near the subway station entrance. Beware, though -- he's usually surrounded by a large crowd of excruciatingly funny and carefully choreographed hecklers. If you feel tempted to join in... move with the spirit.
-You will find quite a few bookstores -- I can think of five off the top of my head, and that's just the beginning. The Coop has most of what you'd be interested in, but c'mon, challenge yourself. Science, Philosophy, Computers, Foreign Languages and Sex are all on the same floor, and you might even find some homeschooling materials there that are far better quality than that A Beka crap you've been looking at. Also check out The Raven and the Harvard Book Store for old stuff (and the latter for a great remainder selection) and Schoenhof's for anything written in those commie foreign languages.
-If you want diner food, there's Leo's Place. But please try not to limit yourself or you're missing the whole point of going to Harvard Square. Try Grendel's. Or the new Wagamama. Or Om. Or Bombay Club. Or Fire and Ice. Or pretty much any damn thing you can't get back home. And skip Ben and Jerry's for dessert -- they're great, but Lizzy's and Herrell's (with the submarine room) are better.
-Harvard has some nice art museums. I've never partaken, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. The MFA in Boston is free on Wednesday nights as well. Just be careful -- if you're too open-minded you might actually find yourself liking the modern art.
-After you're done in Harvard Square, go check out Quantum Books and the MIT Press store in Kendall. You should, in short order, get as much explanation as you're ever going to need as to why science doesn't take Creationism seriously.
-After after that, take the Red Line into Boston, chill out on a Duck Tour, and then eat dinner at some place that isn't a tourist trap. Get a Zagat guide -- nearest Applebees is in Newton.

Good. So by now you should understand how us city-loving Blue State liberals like it. Now you can take the tour bus down to Wrentham and blow the rest of your money on the outlet stores -- hell, they even have a Ruby Tuesday's to help you recover from all that funny-tasting food.

"isnt evolution being thrown out by most scholars now days?"

Only by the likes of Michael Behe (but only as a symbolic act of 'throwing his rattle out of his pram', post-Kitzmiller vs. Dover). Otherwise, a definite case of [citation needed].

'Hardvard'? Is that a Patriot Bible University-esque diploma mill for hardened criminals? One famous alumni being a man in Scotland who had sex with a pavement:

Nicknamed 'Concrete Jim' [/Spike Milligan]. Whilst not on the Sex Offenders Register (said pavement was over the age of consent, fortunately), he's been banned from all branches of B&Q, Texas Homecare and Jewsons, as well as any other DIY warehouses. Asked by the judge why he committed such a crime, he admitted 'It had a nice crack'. The police have warned other potential offenders about the dangers of kerb-crawling, and soliciting street (side)walkers.

Thank you, I'm here all week. Try the buffet!

And if you think that paraphilia is bizarre, cop for this:

As if the concept of sniffing bicycle saddles wasn't bad enough?! Talk about 'Bi(ke)-curious'!

"...and *I* heard most fundies like to do eat their own feces.

Does this mean it's true?"

“isnt evolution being thrown out by most scholars now days?”
If you’re going to accept the bullshit posted on Creationist websites, you’d be better servedby only posting on creationist websites.

“I heard that most hardvard scholars have thrown out the possibily of evolution.”
You ‘heard’ wrong. Again, stick to echo chambers.
