“Intelligent Design” will destroy America

// August 4th, 2005 // Activism and Awareness, Politics // Print Article //

Stirling Newberry has written a very clear-cut article on BOPnews about so-called “Intelligent Design” and the fact that many Americans want to turn their backs on reason, knowledge and science because they interfer with their nonsensical belief system. I think anyone can believe whatever they wish, but when they start to force-feed it to others, or even just impose it on others, I get very upset.

No one would dare try to sue the church to let them teach evolution during Sunday school, but doing the reverse in schools seems perfectly reasonable to them. What happened to separation of Church and State? What happens to reality as a whole when we throw out facts so that we may believe whatever the hell fantasies and make-believe ideas we feel like?

A Message to the Citizens of Idiotia

I don’t expect the moderates of this world to listen to facts or reason. Instead, let me speak in the most crass of terms: reactionary non-science is a threat to your paycheck. America cannot export sermons, and an American economy reduces to people preaching at each other is one which will fold up and be reduced to the level of Pakistan in relatively short order. I don’t ask that Americans learn from the example of how Louis XIV bankrupted France with his religious pogroms and wars of agrandizement, but I do believe that they should be able to realize that filling the skulls of school children with mush is a bad way of attracting the top talent from around the world. Top talent that our high tech industry relies upon. The closing of the American Mind is not a project of the left, but a project of the right.

Oh yeah, not like you didn’t know this, but inteligence drops with every generation of Bush:

“Extending the war into Iraq would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the Arabs deserting in anger and other allies pulling out as well. Exceeding the U.N.’s mandate would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land.”

– From “Why We Didn’t Remove Saddam”
by George Bush [Sr.] and Brent Scowcroft, Time Magazine, 1998 –

    I think claiming equal time to teach evolution in church would be a great idea. It is the logical consequence of their argument.

    But even if they succeed luckily, America is not all the world ;-)

    Very true.
    I plan on traveling once I graduate anyway,
    and I may just find a new country to call home!
