hehe. If you had valid arguments and any amount of proof you wouldn't have to resort to trying to convince people that your opposition is a liar, taliban, etc. Sound like the dims.. vacant, utterly vacant.
We do. We've posted great gobs of it, you just keep dishonestly pretending we haven't.
you wouldn't have to resort to trying to convince people that your opposition is a liar, taliban, etc.
It's not "resorting" to anything, it's telling it like it is:
The United States holds a very tenuous position in the world. Historically, our great physical resources counted high, but today more than any physical resource we rely on the scientific and technological superiority born in our nation's schools. President Bush has recently realized this and is belatedly promoting math and science education. There are international organizations which have targeted science in our public schools. Fueled by religious extremism, they aim to destroy science education in America. The word "Taliban" referred to students in religious schools long before it meant anti-American terrorists. We are under attack from another set of religious subversives no less dangerous. Amazingly, these operations are not hidden. They even boast of their growth and penetration, eroding America's thin technological edge. The Los Angeles Times has just published a long article (11 Feb. 2006) largely lauding the efforts of these enemies of knowledge. Times reporter Stephanie Simon sees this subversion by Ken Ham, CEO of "Answer's in Genesis Ministry, Inc." as recruiting children "... to stand up for God as the Creator." How does Ham do this? I have made careful study of many of AiG's phantasmal "evidences" and have found then to be a combination of gross exaggerations and out-right falsehoods. ( c.f. "Dino-blood and the Young Earth" http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/dinosaur/blood.html ). Last I checked, God didn't need that sort of support. What Ken Ham is actually promoting is the active denial of creation's realities to promote his marginal (but lucrative) biblical interpretation, one rejected by thousands of Christian clergy in America alone. (c.f. The Clergy Letter Project, http://www.uwosh.edu/colleges/cols/religion_science_collaboration.htm ) Originally an Australian operation, today Answers in Genesis Ministries Inc. is actively seeking to destroy America's science and technology base by eliminating science education and replacing it with religious indoctrination. Ham flagrantly encourages children to disrupt classrooms across America with such stupid challenges as "Were you there?" I dare say that Mr. Ham was not present at his grandparents' conceptions. His mere existence is more reliable than any eyewitness accounts and allows us to infer that these multiple independent events occurred. Factual support for evolution is as strong, if not stonger. The Answers in Genesis operation swears that "By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record," (AiG, Statement of Belief). Their version of the Scriptural record is at odds with that of many Christians, none-the-less they demand us to abandon physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, geology, anthropology as well as history and blindly implement their beliefs. We already feel the consequences of their dangerous mission as evidenced by the growing need to import scientifically trained personnel to maintain our industries and a growing American reliance on foreign graduate students to fill our university science programs. There are home-grown organizations with the same goals. One prominent example is the Discovery Institute which promotes "Intelligent Design" creationism. However, their internal documents revealed a mission no different from Ham's. Gary S. Hurd, Ph.D.
I can and shall give examples, IF you ask me to; though it seems as though there are lots of others who know this about you, from their own reading of your posts.
