Ladies and germs, this is the world we live in; The Twilight Zone come alive. If you think God has anything to do with this reality, you're a blasphemer. Repent!"Who is Anna Nicole's baby's daddy? OJ says he knows. Details after the break."

"I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least."
Two suicide bombers blew themselves up Tuesday in a crowd of Shiite pilgrims streaming toward the holy city of Karbala, killing up to 90 people in one of several attacks targeting the faithful ahead of a weekend holiday.
Evolution would have you believe that we evolve to survive, this is a lie. If it were true that we evolve to survive we would never develop a sense of a constant, something which science bases itself on. That is why you must believe in Creationism.
This sort of indoctrination is pretty sick, kids as young as 4 being brainwashed. You can tell by the way they parrot their lines they will be good fundiebots. The mother's words were quite telling, in essence, it's just easier to tell kids god created them in a 7 day stint, it makes sense right?
Well, it also made sense to us that the earth was flat and the sun orbited the earth. Common sense is great in some circumstances but when the evidence suggests something else, our sense was simply wrong. We accept it and move on.
I'm sure the young guy in the latter part of the video may well fail in his quest to achieve a Nobel prize in creationsim, but he could well help with this future scenario...
If the likes of Ken Ham and Kent Hovind get their way, this could be the future. Thankfully, there are people working hard to keep these guys out of American schools, but we can't stop them brainwashing kids if their parents allow it. These guys actually think that the flintstones was a real-life documentary.
The great biologist, Stephen Jay Gould, proposed the idea of non-overlapping magisteria (NOMA), this suggests that science and faith are for different things - they shouldn't encroach on each others realms. That's fine by me, probably best to adjust your faith to reality though, otherwise you'll look a bit silly. But if you are lying to 4 year olds so blatently, I'll still think you are a disgusting turd. Hopefully, these kids will eventually consign these lies to the dustbin along with fairies and the Easter bunny. And, yeah, I know we play games with kids heads with Santa etc, but we do expect adults to go beyond these little stories.
American scientific illiteracy is really none of my business, but if you are in the US, it is yours. A good schooling in science and technology is essential in modern societies - if we can't be bothered educating our children properly, I'm pretty sure other countries will.
