I don't like people with an overdeveloped sheep instinct generally

You hate religious creationists? Think:

Evolution: Over the last hundred+ years, this is how science has and is figuring out how we came about. Read any of several thousand books (not all agreeing on all points), go on digs yourself, do your own experiments and come to your own conclusions. You are free to publish scientific attacks on evolution, and if you happen to be the one who takes down the theory with a scientific argument, you'll be more famous than Darwin.

If you're interested in fairytales I'd recommend Pushkin; the kind of thing you describe is a system of fairytales for grown people. Moreover, it's a system of fairytales based upon a patently idiotic theory which has known and unavoidable pathalogical social and political consequences, and that theory is being held at present, despite overwhelming disproofs having been presented, for essentially religious reasons by scientists who should know better. Moreover, the adherents of this theory are continuing to insist that it be taught as a fact in public schools at public expense and make all possible efforts to suppress scientific dissenting opinions using every agency of American government and jurisprudence available to them.

Like I say, that kind of fairytale has no particular appeal to me. The question will ultimately be settled in courtrooms and ballotboxes and that is proper, since it is basically a political issue.
