Gov. Mike Huckabee was right: "In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth." So was Sam Brownback, Tom Tancredo and Duncan
Hunter who also had the courage to raise their hands for creation in
the presidential debates.

And now a new USA Today/Gallup Poll has found two-thirds of Americans
agree. And those who believe creationism is "definitely true" more
than double those who believe strongly in evolution.

That is the strange thing about education that the willfully ignorant
can't seem to understand. We have an education system because you are
supposed to learn something and not remain ignorant. Believing
something that probably isn't true isn't something to brag about.
What was that poll where something like 40% of the respondents didn't
know that it took one year for the earth to orbit the sun? This
probably made a lot of geocentists happy, but most would claim that it
tells something very bad about the state of science education in this
country.


The condescending sarcasm with which the questions were asked is
surpassed only by the arrogant reactions to the answers. Democratic
pollster Mark Mellman said the hand raisers look like a "front" for
the "Flat Earth Society." Let's get our facts straight. When the
"scientific" community proclaimed the earth to be flat, it was the
Bible (Isaiah 40:22) that said otherwise: "It is He who sits above the
circle of the earth. ..."

You know what is funny about this? The Flat Earth Society used to use
this same Bible verse to claim that the world was flat. They had a
bunch of other verses that they claimed said the same thing. If God
wanted to say the earth was a sphere he would have said sphere and not
circle. Are these guys calling God a liar? The Flat Earth Society (a
creationist organization) used to have their pizza model of a flat
earth to back up their claims.


We saw this same kind of caricature when the $27 million Creation
Museum opened near Cincinnati, Ohio, a few weeks ago. While the
evolutionists have the textbooks, the government schools and the
"history" museums that tout their theory as fact, they're panicked
because one museum says otherwise.

When your goal is to keep people as ignorant as possible, it might be
good propaganda to claim that the other side is panicked, but the fact
is a lot of people are just against dishonesty. The ignorance of
creationists isn't so bad. What is bad is how some people take
advantage of it.


The loudest criticism came from those who complained that the (cool
animatronic) dinosaurs are displayed as coexisting with humans. They
were supposed to be dead for millions of years before humans existed.
If that's true, then who drew all those cave drawings that look like
dinosaurs? And why does nearly every culture on earth have artifacts
and stories about them? They're even described in the Bible (Job
40:15-23) - beings with "ribs like bars of iron" and a "tail like a
cedar" - coexisting with humans. But, of course, we can't believe that
book. We'd rather get our "facts" from a racist guy named Darwin who
wrote "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection; Or, the
Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life" - the real
title of his famous book.

Biblical scholars still don't know what animal Job was talking about.
Hippo has been put forward or croc, or some combination of features
that got combined in myth and stories. It is a good bet that Job
never saw either one.

Those that live in glass houses should not throw stones. Biblical
condolence of slavery and genocide seem to be over looked by people
that want to claim irrelevant junk. Just think if Darwin were a
racist? He was against slavery. Can the Bible say that? Could the
Southern Baptists have said that a hundred and fifty years ago or even
100? Creationists playing the race card are just stupid.


And what of that Tyrannosaurus Rex found in Montana that contained
soft tissue and blood vessels? Can blood vessels really last 65
million years? That's a question they never asked in the debates.

What of it? If we had been lucky enough to find some DNA we could
have told a lot more about Dinos and no one would have to argue
whether birds evolved from Dinos or not.


And their theory that life came from non-living organisms has just one
problem: Life doesn't come from non-living organisms.

It is the YEC creationist proposition that all kinds just poofed into
existence. Someone can't get a grip on the scope of the difference,
here. What is the difference between the scientific concept of
abiogenesis and special creation. One has the fact that all chemical
reactions needed for life can occur spontaneously and all the elements
and materials needed are known to exist, but special creation has what
going for it? Nothing pretty much sums it up. I wonder if this guy
was scammed by the intelligent design creationist scam? Did he ever
wonder what those guys were proposing? Maybe he should ask them?


Just because the evolutionists are arrogant doesn't mean they're
right.

Just because a lot of people can't be bothered to learn any science
worth talking about, doesn't mean that, that applies to everyone.
