Televangelist Condemns Anti-creationism Policy

America's best known televangelist, Pat Robertson, has warned a Pennsylvania town that it could face divine retribution for voting creationists off its education authority.

"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God. You just rejected him from your city," Mr Robertson said on his Christian Broadcasting Network, which claims a daily audience of one million.

Residents ousted conservative Christian members of the local Dover board who had ordered teachers to tell their classes evolution was a questionable theory.
