Dom Stasi: Origin Of Specious, National Mutation Thru Unnatural Selection

[Dudley_DUright]

Long but excellent article. I think this one deserves an award for the cleverest title of the day. :-)

“The fundamentalists, by 'knowing' the answers before they start examining evolution, and then forcing nature into the straitjacket of their discredited preconceptions, lie outside the domain of science - or of any honest intellectual inquiry.” - Stephen Jay Gould

George W. Bush wants to see “different ideas” introduced into the science curriculum of our public schools.

That’s fundamentalist code for, “I want to indoctrinate your children to Creationism.”

In case you’ve just arrived here from the outer planets and haven’t heard the “news,” the latest inanity our prez has used to throw the country’s “reporters” off the Karl Rove stench, while driving another wedge through what remains of her people’s unity is this comment, he made last week: “I think part of education,” expounded Bush the philosopher, “is to expose people to different schools of thought.” He went on to say he would endorse placing intelligent design on an equal curricular footing with evolution.

My god! Are we so insane now that we’re about to allow George W. Bush to influence our children’s thinking and thus the next generation of American scientists – or would alchemists be a more appropriate title? How about sorcerers?
