If you have an IQ around room temperature this is the right place for you.
In Nova’s recent two hour documentary which put Intelligent Design to rest both intellectually and legally, one character stood out, Bill Buckingham. He shows up in a few clips throughout the piece saying some of the most dumbass things imaginable. To see his best speech go to minute 7:20 in the last chapter at Concluding chapter of: Judgment Day – Intelligent Design on Trial (12 min)
Sadly Bill Buckingham and the mentality he represents is not some small radical Islamic Fundamentalist cult, but the mentality shared by most Americans. While upwards of 90% of the civilized world accepts evolution as a no brainer, less than 50% of Americans do. Accepting Intelligent Design (creationism) is not just a denial of evolution, but a denial of all science that validates evolution: biology, anthropoloty, geology, cosmology, chemistry, and physics to name a few. Of course it also defies all logic, reason and common sense, but that is what faith is suppose to do. These are the same Republicans pounding their drums to forced prayer in school, to discriminate against gays and lesbians, deny woman choice, advocate torture and preemptive war, build walls, round up the Mexicans and hate Hillary Clinton so much their teeth bleed.
They are responsible for a world that now sees us as the United States of Duh…
