Ken "Dr. Dino" Ham on the radio today!

[onager]

:rofl:

I usually tune into the local Fundie/right-wing station on my commute to work. I only live 5 miles from work, which is good since that is often about all I can stand of their Obama-bashing, liberal-baiting brainless bullshit.

But today was special! The afternoon guest was Ken "Dr. Dino" Ham. I missed most of the show, but since Ham and his gang just regurgitate the same nonsense over and over, I probably didn't miss much. (I don't know if they asked about Ham's jail sentence for tax evasion, but probably not.)

When I tuned in, Ham was yukking it up because "Charles Darwin didn't know about genes!!! ZOMG!" He also repeated about 50 times that "Darwin was a Lamarckian evolutionist." What he didn't mention is that Darwin would have certainly modified his theories to match the evidence, if he had only lived long enough.

I'm often surprised - though I shouldn't be - that modern Cretinists always seem to be arguing with our ancestors. They still have the crazy idea that if they they can disprove Darwin, all the evidence for evolution since 1859 will go away. Amazing.

Especially since just last night, I watched the BBC show Darwin and the Tree of Life, hosted by David Attenborough. In less than 1 hour, that show explained evolution in such simple terms that anyone can understand it.

Oh, after Ken Ham got off the air today, one of the radio station's regular Bible-believin,' Jesus-lovin' stars took over - Charles Colson.

I always look for any excuse to quote Colson's old buddy, G. Gordon Liddy, so here it is again: "Chuck Colson said he would walk over his own grandmother for Richard Nixon. So just IMAGINE what he would do for Jesus."

1. Whackjob!

2. Evidently Ham doesn't know about genes either.

Or he'd understand how fucking right Darwin is about the evolution of species!

3. The only thing worse than right-wing hate radio

Is when the right-wing hate radio turns into a 30 minute infomercial for charlatans like Ham.
