Mississippi trying to catch up to the stupidity of Alabama

Don,

While you have always been very partisan you have generally sided with the moderate faction of the GOP & chided the far right for what they have done, how they have chased away moderates from the party, etc.  Well after viewing some of the crap you have spewed in this thread I see you have changed your outlook a bit, the extreme right of the Republican party seems to fit you well as I see you have joined Jim Inhofe and the Science haters.

Anyway, seriously do you ever wonder why the U.S lags behind other countries in Science, and the south is far behind the rest of the country when it comes down to Science.  This utter crap is it.

Geez.

I talk about the possibility that evolution might have occurred in a college class and they thought I might as well have been an Atheist from planet Zortron V.

I talk about the possibility that kids should be offered the idea that faith and evolution can go hand-in-hand and I get tarred as an ultra-right-wing Christian super-zealot.

Your little mocking and the  monkey theory was well a bit of the super-zealot type of thinking.  Fact of the matter is we should teach SCIENCE in SCIENCE class.

I have always opposed social darwinism and believe I have stated so in the past.  I fervently believe in Christian social theory as the basic construct of society - Blessed are the meek, Love thy neighbor as thy self, etc.  - even if one does not believe in the religion itself.  I simply do not understand how one can separate the principle of "survival of the fittest" from Evolution, and thus cannot justify its usefulness to humanity.  Knowledge cannot save us, Love can.

If I offended anyone's beliefs I do apologize - this is simply an issue I am quite passionate about.

So you would rather YOUR personal beliefs be taught in Science class rather than actual Science?
