Quote:Republican State Rep. Gary Hopper, who with his Republican district mate John Burt introduced HB 1457, told the Concord Monitor that the theory of evolution teaches students that life is nothing but an accident.

This statement is such a steaming pile of crap it's unbelievable.

First of all, he's confusing evolution with the scientific explanation for the origin of life (abiogenesis). Typical.

Secondly, abiogenesis doesn't suggest that life was an "accident".

Lastly, so what if it was an accident? Wouldn't you rather people know the truth, even if it strips them of their security blanket deity? Rhetorical question. Of course he does.

Fail.

How do you know when a fundamentalist politician is saying something stupid? His lips are moving.
