The really depressing part is now we'll have another generation of kids having their minds polluted by nonsense of dinosaurs living with man and the Earth being only a few thousand years old. I guess being oblivious to reality is the easiest way of getting through life.
[edit] I read the article again. I love that third picture on the first page that states "
Present changes are too small and too slow to explain these differences, suggesting God provided organisms with special tools to change rapidly."
YES! Because nothing that we're directly looking at in the past few hundred years or so isn't showing massive steps in evolution, that's surely
undeniable evidence that that it couldn't have
ever possibly happened in the past
4.5 Billion years? :/
While I agree on principle that we should weed out the "dumb shits", not all religious people can be blanketed under this category, nor athiests excluded.
A religous person who keeps their beliefs fairly quiet, perhaps will share them but not zealously, is fine by me. I can even lend them an ear to hear their beliefs and theories, and can say at the end of the day it was interesting.
Religious people can be zealous idiots just as much as athiests can, who protests outside churches and try to convert believers to their firm, scientific, disbelief. In the scientific community, let facts speak for themselves. In religious communities, let freedom of thought reign.
