IDiot update

The other alternative hypotheses to Evolution and Intelligent design the IDiots don't want you to hear about. The article points out something very ironic from the creationists: About 80 years ago, they were against fairness and openness to truth when evolutionary theory was viewed as a threat to established religion. They now pursue access to creationism/intelligent design claiming that it is only in the interest of fairness and the openness of truth.

Whatever it takes for you guys to win. This is science, not realpolitik, guys. These IDiots are trying to use tactics from The Art of War and The Prince to win a scientific debate, which is absolutely ridiculous. Yet they do demonstrate something peculiar about us humans: the most logical explanation with the most evidence does not always win the ideological battle for hearts and minds.

On another interesting development in IDiot strategy, when I was in a book store in Mexico last week, I saw several creationist/intelligent design books that had been translated into Spanish. So if you can't win here and you can't beat the Catholic Church when they side with the evolutionists, you go after the 20% protestant population and the 80% Catholic population of Mexico. Maybe enough members of the Catholic Church will start to defy the pope's declaration that evolution is a part of God's plan and the church will be forced to change its position. Then again, people are still using contraception and that hasn't changed the church's mind that has only changed it's mind 4 times in the passed 2,000 years.

This is still far from over. More time must be wasted on this fabricated "scientific" debate in order to safeguard science education in the Western hemisphere.
