I really never realized there was so much institutional pressure against evolution. True fundamentalism, to me, always seemed to be a fringe movement. I knew there were people trying to legally oppose science, but it never seemed possible that they were anymore than a well organized small group of crackpots.

Yes, the woods are full of evolution deniers here in West Texas.  Can’t talk to them as they have their fingers in their ears and go “lalalalalal”.  Seems they would rather believe what they want to believe rather than look at the evidence.  I tell them that the evidence is in for evolution and has been for a long time.  Doesn’t do any good.  They just tell me they already know what the facts are and that I am just preaching religion to them.  Darwinism you know.  They will tell me it takes more faith to believe in evolution than to believe in their god.  Seems like a good argument to them and anyway why spend good time studying what they know is not true when they can believe what they want to believe.

Thank you for posting this. I loved his comment on humans & dinosaurs coexisting "flint stones isn't just a cartoon, its a documentary".

This is why, if religion isn't controlled, the U.S. will become a third world country.  Always in denial, ignorant and going  la,la,la,la, to the reality of life!
