It's not evil, it's just the result of thousands of years of evolution and the drive to pro create ;)

But evolution IS evil, according to some of the fundamentalists so threatened by liberalism:

Good call. Pro creating doesn't pay for shit.

I like how the opposite of marriage is homosexual behavior.

They're all funny but that one made me giggle a little extra.

This one while making me laugh is also pretty much spot on sadly.

Because it's real. The AnswersinGenesis company puts out lots of "science" books with their fight on evolution. And the company's founder/CEO, Ken Ham, built the Creation Museum in Kentucky. It's a hugely successful business.

Lotta bank in making people dumber.

But we should support AiG so that it becomes lucrative enough to attract AIG and hedge fund genius types and they can run that industry into the ground. We can get rid of them all in one fell swoop!

It's always extra hilarious when people that fundamentally don't understand science try to teach it. Or discredit it.

Now you've got me all nostalgic for my old anti-Creationism trolls

My favorite recent example was when Ken Ham's books were being taught at my church recently (don't worry, just a small fringe group at the church was even interested). I tried to sit in for the first week and keep my mouth shut, and it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. This was my favorite exchange:

Teacher: So these are Ken Ham's books and we're going to learn about science through God's word.
Class member: This is great, but how will we teach our children these important truths?
Teacher: Don't worry. These books are written at a level that children can understand.

(Faceslap)

I've been asked by the minister to teach on God/Science soon. It will be unified theory, dark matter, paleontology, evolution and some history of the church's huge mistakes in this area (persecution of Galileo FTW).

Interesting that Isaac Newton, possibly the most important scientist in human history, spent more time thinking and writing about religion than he did thinking and writing about science.

Not only was it about religion, but what we would call occult religion and alchemy to boot.

I got a big laugh comparing this to current scientists writing more research grants than about science.

PowerManDL · 10-24-2009, 05:47 PM

Newton was also a product of his times, too.

High point for me visiting Westminster Abbey, was seeing the paving stones over the burial places for Darwin and Newton. Actually Newton's was in a section I could see only from several feet away. I checked on line, in 1882 the Dean of Westminster was asked if Darwin could be interred there, he replied 'assent would cheerfully be given'.
