re: amazing display of ignorance
And yet, these people think nothing of pushing mythologies in the science of economics. Not least of which is the faith that centrally planned and controlled economic systems are the key to a nation's prosperity.
Holding creationist views in the face of years of scientific evidence is no stupider than holding these economic views in the face of a hundred years of critical thinking and real-world observation.
And frankly, the economic delusion has done one hell of a lot more damage in that time.
Of all the dangerous and idiotic beliefs held by those with political power in this country, a belief in God creating the world is not exactly number one on my list.
