Don't care.  The notion that the scientific community must inconvenience itself to appease ignorant bigots is the whole problem.

No, the problem is that the fundies have an equal voice in our schools.

In the 150 years since Darwin, not a single finding or experiment has falsified evolution, the discovery of a feathered rabbit or a furry breastfeeding bird would disprove evolution.
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

"Teach the Controversy!"

Okay, I will!

Folks some say God created the world.  But scientists find no evidence for that!  Why do you think that is?  Is God being sneaky?  Are scientists out to get God?  So much controversy!!!

Where do YOU stand?

No, the problem is that the fundies have an equal voice in our schools.

But that's precisely the same problem. Since pols and scientists have got to - by law - mollycoddle the ignorant and the just plain stupid. the creeping crud that is creationism is allowed to creep into school curricula. People with brains have got to start standing up and pointing out that not all ideas have equal merit, and that creationist lunacy doesn't qualify as science, does not merit 'equal time' with science classes, and - if it belongs in a publically funded school at all - it should be moved over to comparative religion or current events courses.

We already did that here.  The movement packed up it's bags, crossed the pond...and is now the UK's problem. They did leave their feces all over the place, ofc...and it'll probably take us awhile to clean it all up.

You know what I never understoood?  Why any of these people ever agreed to any of these interviews?  Cheap publicity...of the absolute -worst- kind...or did they really believe that it was going to go well?  If it's the latter....why did they think that?   I wouldn't climb in the ring with a golden glove boxer no matter how well I thought I understood the theory of boxing...... from all my nights watching HBO.

Huh
