The WashTimes and the creationist Discovery Institute are both associated with the moonies. It doesn't surprise me they'd say this.
The WashTimes is a powerful conservative voice. But this creationism gig is it's Achilles heel, because there does exist hard core proof that evolution is real. I guarantee you well see loads of it in the media over the next few years.
If conservatives persist in this, we're now seeing the apex of the conservative moment.
And we haven't even gotten a supreme court nominee yet.
I just can't believe these people are that stupid to think that pushing creationism is so much more important than fighting abortion and terrorism and such.
It's very difficult for an institution to survive, when it publicly assets an inherently and obviously absurd position. The ancient Pythagoreans, for example, faded away when they were found out to be lying about irrational numbers. If the Republican party makes creationism a centerpiece, we're finished. And rightfully so. Such idiocy doesn't deserve to survive.
