”I think that what you're missing on this is that the general public is aware that evolutionism is religion, even more than creation,”
If by “general public” you mean “The religious right,” then yes, the “general public” is aware of this. If by “general public” you mean the “majority of the population,” then you are speaking out of your ass, sir.
Creationism: based on the unquestioning acceptance of a thousands-of-years old, countlessly-translated collection of the mystical lore of a bronze-age, nomadic society with a severe persecution complex. Immune to question, revision, or the introduction on new, confirmed data.
Evolution: based on continuingly tested and questioned observable, empirical data collected by thousands of scientists and researchers. Welcomes questioning, revision, and is constantly seeking new, confirmed data.
Hardly the same thing, are they?
”
and they don't want either in the schools.”
Well, you’re half right, at least, which is better than your first point.
”Evolution is holding biology back severely, and the two are not even really related.”
I thought that the first half of that sentence was the stupidest thing ever written on the subject
until I read the second half. Evolution and biology are the same bloody thing, they are as inseparable as Tim Haggard and a hot piece of man-ass.
”Evolution is a political/philosophical point of view,”
Well, if you by “political/philosophical” you mean a view based on observable, empirical data with no pre-conceived conclusions or social agenda, then yes, I guess that is true. But then again
that’s not what you meant, is it? You are claiming that evolution is a deliberate, organized conspiracy to destroy religion and deny God, right? You know they have medication for that now
”
and Americans recognize that 2:1 by most polls.”
No such poll exists. Sorry, but making shit up is what got religion into this mess in the first place, and you do not help your credibility by being such an obvious liar.
”can't we just spend our science money on science?”
So why don’t you support evolution?
”
science class have to provide indoctrination?”
So why do you want creationism taught? It has zero basis in provable fact and data. It is based solely on faith, dogma, and ancient mythology. To teach this in a science class would be the very definition of “indoctrination.”
”At this point the cream of the crop in life sciences mostly reject evolution, and don't waste time and efort on it; could that be why they're more productive?"
OK, you topped yourself for the stupidest thing ever said on this subject. Not one single reputable scientist “rejects” evolution. Not a single bloody one. And the disreputable ones that do reject it, like Hovind and Hamm, all have questionable “degrees” from uncredited religious diploma mills that teach religion under the guise of science, if they teach anything at all. And these “productive” creationist scientists have contributed nothing to science at all! They aren’t scientists, they are religious propagandists. Think about it, a scientist is one who seeks to add to the sum total of knowledge, who strives to find and discover the unknown
you can’t be a scientist if you believe you already know everything there is to know!
