['and seeing assholes in Kansas bitch about creationism. In the long term we're screwed by these people']
Nonsense. Darwinism is meaningless when it comes to technology and applied science. No physical scientist pays any real attention to evolutionary theory. At it's best it's a model of past events. Like archaeology, its main application is fodder for PBS shows.

technology and applied science? Maybe I'm dead wrong here, but do those fields have anything really in common, on a day to day basis, with evolution? What the dude says is not so much incorrect (except the last paragraph) as it is irrelevant.

Maybe I'm missing something, but we use evolution all the fricken time in every branch of biology to make predictions and when screening genomes.
Hell, biotech companies complained about the Kansas ID affair, fearing it would affect the state's competitiveness.
Sure thing. By the way, here's an entire branch of bleeding-edge computer science based on principles of Darwinian evolution.
That thing flying over your head? That's the point. Sorry you missed it.
If there's an afterlife, Darwins happy he's dead, otherwise he'd be spending all his time in America cleaning YEC clocks.
He, a 150 year old theorist could bury you all without what's been found that supports him since he died.
That's ultimately one of the saddest things about you lot. You think you're destroying Darwins work BUT YOU HAVEN'T TOUCHED EVEN HIS BASIC THEORY. You only attack him, raise him to the ultimate authority, not because you can disprove his work but ONLY BECAUSE HE'S DEAD.
When Chuck Norris dies I'll be here telling you all how I could kick his ass into oblivion and I guess y'all gonna haveta accept it.
“Nonsense. Darwinism is meaningless”
“when it comes to technology and applied science. No physical scientist pays any real attention to evolutionary theory.”
“At it's best it's a model of past events.”
“Like archaeology, its main application is fodder for PBS shows.”
“Moreover, it carries with it so many logical fallacies that it's destructive when trying to teach rigorous logic and science.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
