"The anti-Christs can hide, but can't run away from the stake."

For the lurkers, this is the kind of "reasoned debate" scientists are often up against. This post provides a good glimpse into the nature of those who oppose science in general, and evolution in particular, with such vehemence.

The current battles to include religion and ID in science classes are largely coming from implementation of the Wedge Strategy set forth a decade ago. Take a look.

Finally, if these folks win, will we see the following?

It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.

Robert A. Heinlein, Postscript to Revolt in 2100

(And no, evolution is an established science, not a "sect, cult, or religion." It is dishonest to claim otherwise.)

You should try to be more charitable. They're doing the very best they can, with the intellect the good Lord gave them. True, it's not very much, but let them enjoy what they have.

Don't forget this,

"In another time, another age, its adherents used to be burned at the stake or given the rope."(post 70)


and

"Big Brother is watching the anti-Christ!

To know the enemy is to annihilate it."(post 83)

Very telling indeed.

I was just walking with my children observing God's glorious creation and this scripture came to mind. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Romans 1:18-23 I know unbelievers consider it foolish to take God at his Word but my heart soars when I consider His creation and the beautiful children that he formed in my womb.
