I ran across this today while checking out the news. It’s a story about Huckabee, his creationist views, and how it affects things in Texas. The story talks about his supporters and says “Maddox, who declines media interview requests, has posted his writings on the web at sites like the Institute for Creation Research and has called Charles Darwin’s work “pre-Civil War fairy tales.”"
Just one question: If evolution is a “pre-Civil War fairy tale”, what do you call intelligent design and creationism? How about “post-Enlightenment fantasies”? Or better yet – bullshit.
Please stop trying to force your biblical creation stories into public schools. Teach it to your kids if you want to – they’ll be the next generation of dumbasses – hey, someone has to be there to receive welfare! Just teach it in your religious schools, Sunday schools, or at home. Don’t dumb down my kids because of your beliefs.
BTW – There’s a reason it’s called a “belief”. You have to have faith to believe it because there’s ZERO facts to support it. Words written in an incorrectly translated book from 2000 years ago don’t carry much weight with me. Humans have been through the dark ages – and the reason they’re called the dark age is because religion ruled.
I can give hundreds of examples of people who were killed (burned at the stake) and/or imprisoned because they dared to think something that wasn’t in a religious book. Why do you think Copernicus didn’t publish his theory until he was on his deathbed?
Get a life and leave mine alone. Go back to living with plagues, smallpox, and leprosy. Go back to censorship of books and words. Go back to subsistence farming on your feudal plots of ground. Go back to being helpless when a crop failed and millions starved because there wasn’t any transportation system to get the food to you. But you can count me out.
