fuck a creationist

The supporting quotes for the book are terrific.

'Yvonne Anderson, High School Sophomore: "I have read the book which has totally and without a doubt disproved the theory of evolution for me."'

Gosh, you'd think it would be more well known.

I like that her response seems extremely sarcastic.

meanwhile, down in Kansas...

oh wait! they did good. it's not all bad news here, people. sometimes the way people write about these things makes it seem like there's this inexorable encroaching tide of ignorance sweeping all in its path before it, but creationists have actually been handed a string of defeats over the past year.

Good. good for them. Cute that the article actually mentions the Daily Show, too.

i really hate the wording on the cobb county textbooks - everything in ANY textbook should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered, but these medieval book-burners are just using it as an acceptable stand-in for 'aint true!!!'

It's just a theory! it's not proven!

i guess it does expose the fact that these idiots think theres stuff (LIKE BIBLES LOL) that shouldnt ever be approached with an open mind or critically considered

Looking a bit more into the Texas State Rep who submitted that loony geocentric/creationist legislation. Turns out his campaign manager is actually married to the fixedearth guy. Oh, and here's the original memo submitted, the one that the State Rep didn't actually read before passing it on. The fun bits start about the 2nd paragraph, and you can always tell serious political writing when it involved italics, in bold, underlining, and exclamation marks.

And what happens when the fixedearth guys gets into an argument with the creationist folks over a book review. It contains such lines as:

Christian Creationism is controlled by those who are doctrinally wedded to Zionist Dispensational goals. This marriage has blinded the Creationist leadership to the fact that both the Zionist and the Dispensational concepts come from that same 13th century anti-Christ Kabbalist source as did Relativism, Big Bangism, and the Expanding Universe concepts. Add it up!

and accompanying abuses of html.

Bumper sticker wanted: "Honk if you're a Big Bangist too"
