This is what REALLY gets me about this whole thing. I have followed these Threads and watched interviews with the leaders of the Creationist movement. For instance, 2-3 weeks ago C-SPAN had an interesting one hour discussion between the President of the DISCOVERY INSTITUTE and a scientist. Again and again and again, when a Creationist is finally pinned down they give the explanation (or lie, as the case may be) that, "Creationism has NOTHING to do with Religion. Creationism has to do with the questioning of the Theory of Evolution and the proposal of an alternate Scientific Theory".
I take people like the President of the DISCOVERY INSTITUTE and the Crevos that inhabit FreeRepublic at their word: "Creationism has NOTHING to do with Religion. Creationism has to do with the questioning of the Theory of Evolution and the proposal of an alternate Scientific Theory".
I therefore am not ridiculing Religion and can't understand how someone could misconstrue my intentions. I am ridiculing Ignorance.
So is Creationism about interjecting Religion into Science, or not? Which is it? Get your story straight before you attempt to destroy and discredit Conservatism and impugn religious-Conservatives as Anti-Religious.
Did I hit a nerve?
