From the article:
--------------------------------------
Spectrum/Bill Siedler

In Pastor Ron Hamman's nearly unintelligible creationist rant (Spectrum, 1/21),
he says he wants the Valley to host a creationism vs. evolution debate because
it would "really put the Valley on the map!"

He then makes the claim that evolution cannot properly be called a scientific
"theory" like gravity or thermodynamics. Lastly, he says that in 1990 somebody
issued a $10,000 challenge to anyone who could show scientific proof of
evolution.

The prize still sits in a bank, unclaimed, says Hamman, and has now accumulated
enough interest to be a $250,000 prize today. Allow me to respond: First, the
Valley is already on the "map," but sadly, it's mostly due to our reputation as
an enclave for believers of things that strain credulity, like the Rev. Hamman.
