It’s encouraging to see how retarded my children’s competition is.

Yep, math and science is useless stuff. Keep attending that bible school!

Sad, isn't it? Sad that conservatism has been co-opted by a small but vocal faction that is utterly hostile to anything resembling science.

Oh well... Their children will one day be working for your children (as well as mine). I'll have to teach my kids to go easy around their delicate sensibilities.

I resemble that remark and I’m hardly hostile to science. I make my living thanks to science, technology and logic.

And I continually post 2 of the best websites that skeptics such as yourself should read before making the blanket assumptions the msm and academic ivory tower types would like for you to believe. All I’m saying is you should examine all of the evidence before making any sweeping generalizations...

“Sad, isn’t it? Sad that conservatism has been co-opted by a small but vocal faction that is utterly hostile to anything resembling science.”

I’m a creationist, and a conservative, and I’m not hostile to science. I’m looking over at my bookshelf, and at a glance, I see:

The World Treasury of Physics, Astronomy, and Mathematics
Asimov’s Understanding Physics
Practical Physics
The Timetables of Science
Microbiology
The Inventions, Researches, and Writings of Nikola Tesla
Theory of Sets
Theories of Everything
The Analysis of Information Systems
Medical and Health Encyclopedia
Dictionary of Mathematics
The World of Mathematics Vol. 1-4
Unsolved Problems in Geometry and Number Theory
Developing Computer-based Information Systems
Systems Analysis
Mobile Robots
and an old Radio Shack primer on Electronics

I suppose, since those books resemble science, I should get busy and burn em, eh? I dun found sum sciency devil books, let’s have us a burning! Weeee doggies!

I think this who creationism “debate” is more about power over people. Much the same way the early religious leaders opposed the printing press because (gasp!) people might actually access and read the bible.

The creationists might as well call the 4H clubs anti-christian becuase they are taught about selective breeding methods. Same for dog breeders, horse farms, nursuries, orchid growers etc...

Yeah, those public school kids don't stand a chance at getting any of the good jobs so that'll be all that's left for them.

I’m reviewing this thread that’s pretty much over now. It is typical of the useless conversations that take place on this topic.

My comment to you is that I see no need for you to promote liberal/left propaganda.

Conservatives have been and are much more pro-science than liberals.

Don’t let the liberal propaganda onslaught shape your thinking.

Don’t buy in to cartoonish caricatures that they push.
