The real issue, I think, is the underlying ignorance behind Creationism and every other kind of fundamentalism/pseudoscience. What makes people so incredibly solid in their beliefs is that they have a way of feeling wiser and more learned than educated people.

It's a pity that you can't really teach people how to use their brains

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
