Beware of the Dogma!
Creationism is on the march, and now it's about more than just the Bible. It's a point on the spear of destroying everything that can be called liberalism. As one activist put it: "If you can cause enough doubt on evolution, liberalism will die."
That's it in a nutshell. Scientists can be intractible at times, but if you push them they will admit they don't have all the answers. And this chink in the armor of the Theory of Evolution is being exploited by religious and political activists to push not just a religious education agenda, but to push a complete anti-liberal political agenda as well.
If you let the religious whackos get a foothold of doubt in the classroom door, they're going to slam it open to shove religion down our throats in every aspect of our lives imaginable. And the Republicans will exploit that advantage to push their ultra-conservative agenda down our throats as well.
I hope nobody's stupid enough to believe this will lead to lower taxes and more individual freedom for the working class... How do you think all those gov't contracts and corporate welfare gets paid? And has religion ever supported individual freedom?
There are dark times ahead. I knew evolution would play a role in the future of mankind. I just didn't know it would happen so soon!
