O’Donnell’s is another typical creationist who actually thinks The Flinstones is a documentary with their pet dinosaur dog and dinosaur quarry crane.

So it’s perfectly reasonable to believe in creation, based only the ‘teaching’ of an old collection of stories of questionable authenticity, but not to believe in a theory based on studying the observable operation and discoverable history of our planet?

“Well, creationism, in essence, is believing that the world began as the Bible in Genesis says, that God created the Earth in six days, six 24-hour periods. And there is just as much, if not more, evidence supporting that…”

ouch as I have stated many times atheists are made not born.

(I posted this just now on the article about the Australian prime minister, but I think it’s relevant here too.)

We can take hope in Dawkins’s observation that the BIG PICTURE is that reason is slowly winning over religion.  We have some set-backs here and there, with weird outbreaks of religiosity (epidemics of viral memes) and with strange hold-outs like the U.S.A.  But the big picture, if you look at the world on a century scale is that reason is winning.

Bananapeel,

Maybe you are correct and the world is progressing but here in the USA we seem to have fallen backward.

It’s all well and good for Mr. Dawkins to calmly remind us that reason is winning.  But some of us are trying to live here in the US.  We have to live with these people!  Sometimes, we have to be governed by these people!

In the words of one of my favorite fictional characters, Dr. Ian Malcolm:

“I’m fairly alarmed here.”

This is quite scary , Not being American is no consolation as there is just as much blindness on ground level here in the U.K.  I would love to see this “Evidence” in support of creationism , no doubt it wont stand up to critical examination !!

Is anyone surprised that some Republicans don’t believe in evolution despite the incredibly overwhelming evidence base?  The R’s don’t do evidence, except to cherry pick what agrees with their previously established positions. ;-p

Well, what a novel ideology!  And just what we need more of - another political ditzoid feeding from the trough of religious dogma and promoting scientific illiteracy

She is not a fan of evolution because it produces people who masturbate.

People like O’Donnell make me sad.  Why do Americans take her seriously? Is there something in the water? Too many preservatives, perhaps?
The USA was based on secular rationalism… now what is it becoming?
Why is it that the strongest and most heard rational voices tend to be comedians and satirists?
Sad sad sad.
