Yeah, in fact you recently scored a stunning victory in the creation-friendly state of Kentucky.
Oh wait, that was our side, who scored a stunning victory in the presumably evolution-hostile state of Kentucky.
Answers in Genesis is a fascinating group. They're one of the few creationist sites that has had the courage to publicly point out some of the more laughable flaws in other creationists' arguments. But if you read their stuff over time, you periodically discover flashes of desperation scattered in between the usual bursts of triumphant bluster. Such as this:
There is a growing tension in the church between many lay people and their leadership concerning the Bible’s historical account of origins. AiG’s supporters—and our new staff—often struggle to understand why so many Christian organisations and leaders ‘bristle’ about AiG. Megan M. sent us this e-mail:‘I am just blown away by the attitude ... we have met here [since returning from seven years in Asia] regarding the creation issue—that six literal days is not the point, and ... is being divisive. ... We have been dumbstruck by the lethargy and wishy-washy teaching we have experienced in churches here ... . We are thankful for the materials that you supply—solid stuff with backbone! ... This country needs no-compromise teaching that points directly to God the Creator and His Son, Jesus Christ!’Recently an AiG event coordinator spoke with the pastor of a large evangelical church and asked why he did not want AiG ministry there. He answered, ‘It’s because of your stand on the six days of Creation.’ When asked why this was a problem, he said it was because of what he’d been taught at Bible college.
This is not an isolated case, sadly. ...
AiG received a number of letters and e-mails from people dismayed and shocked by Pat Robertson‘s recent comments on a couple of ‘700 Club’ TV programs about those who believe in the six literal days of Creation. I certainly wasn’t surprised by theses statements. You see, I visited Regent University a number of years ago and discovered that a number of its professors were teaching theistic evolution. And over the years we’ve had contact with a number of students who have confirmed this (although there may be some literal Genesis professors at Regent). ...Sadly the views of Pat Robertson are also held by many Christian leaders in America today. While these same leaders have a heart for fighting America’s culture war, Christians are losing the battle. The problem is that the culture war is being lost because Biblical authority has been lost. And this has happened because the majority of Christian leaders have rejected the literal history in Genesis in order to compromise with millions of years and evolutionary ideas. Until Christian leaders get back to accepting God’s clear Word beginning in Genesis, and thus reestablishing Biblical authority, Christians will not be able to fight the culture war at a foundational level—where the real battle is largely being won by the secular humanists.
So, where was creationism winning, exactly?
Keep telling yourself that, if it makes you feel better.
