1. America has a very poor

understanding of evolution and science. Is there any wonder we lag behind other nations in science education? This is no surprise when those elected to represent our best interests continue to suggest creationism and intelligent design are on equal footing with evolution. Evolution is NOT a matter of opinion!

[Triana]

2. The American Taliban hates science

and education. It's "unGodly". Sorta like that "other" Taliban who hates it (at least for their "wimmin") and for the same reason. CLUE: It has nothing to do with "Godliness" or "unGodliness". It has to do with CONTROL.

'S the name of their game.

[Enthusiast]

3. Oh yes, control.

Control and profit are the only reason for these crazy excesses we see in American religion.

[progressoid]

4. "Creationism and Darwinism are not opposing but equally legitimate theories"

AMEN!

[Enthusiast]

5. Who do you quote here?

Creationism hardly has the status of "theory". It is not equally legitimate. The only legitimacy creationism has is in church and in the minds of the uneducated.

6. Bill says that at about 3:00 .

He's chastising the media for giving them equal consideration.

[Enthusiast]

7. Oh, okay, sorry. nt

[Optical.Catalyst]

8. If a religious fundamentalist gets the 'evolved' flu, they must not have be true believers

They need to go back and do 100 hale mary's to get their religious mojo back on.

9. I liked the gag about Mel Gibson.

:rofl:
