I thought I was the only one who raised dinosaurs until this museum opened and cleared up evil Darwinism as a hoax. I'm dusting off my resume and Bible. I'm all for Ministries of Information.

He votes Republican,supports Bushleague all the way, and is married to a fundamentalist. (This person went to college on Pell Grants and credits his education with bringing him into the middle class.... yet.......politically, he is a dunce.) Maybe I'll let him know about this opportunity. Don’t laugh too hard fellows….I know a geologist dude who would probably do any thing for $$$$.

This story made me think of a favorite quote: Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night. ~Isaac Asimov As Horace said, it sucks that the current admin has promoted the belief that most science is controversial. I feel like I'm living in the Dark Ages, with the Bush admin playing the part of the Church. Sadly funny…

They spent more time trying to find one than in almost any other endeavor except putting out tracts and publications. In the 60's they thought they had a candidate in David Young, but as a consequence of going through the PhD program in Geology, he lost faith in the young earth belief, disappointing the CRS. (See Numbers - The Creationists - 1993) I don't know if they have subsequently found anyone, but they never give up!

He just might not have much standing in the scientific community. Bush has shown that one can manipulate public sentiment by choosing the right science advisors, because the public doesn't have the wherewithal to rate them. The only science they see is put together by advertising peddlers rather than scientists. The fact that the scientific community thinks Bush appoints people preselected to support his beliefs simply reinforces the public's perception that everything in science is controversial and therefore untrustworthy. What we really need is another Carl Sagan whom the public trusts to point out good science. As Cicero said, "There is nothing so absurd but some philosopher has said it."

Does this mean that the sun revolves around the earth? “No apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record.”
