Speaking of overwrought...

US doomed if creationist president elected: scientists

Oh no, what will we do if someone who believes the same way that tens of millions of Americans do (and Western civilization as a whole for centuries) gets elected president!? It will "doom" the U.S.!

How can we ignore the advice of the high priest of secularism? Since they are "scientists", those of us who are in the ignorant masses are duty bound to kiss their rings and accept what they say without question. The arrogance of the academy is grotesque to say the least...

"The logic that convinces us that evolution is a fact is the same logic we use to say smoking is hazardous to your health or we have serious energy policy issues because of global warming," University of Michigan professor Gilbert Omenn told reporters at the launch of a book on evolution by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).

"I would worry that a president who didn't believe in the evolution arguments wouldn't believe in those other arguments either. This is a way of leading our country to ruin," added Omenn, who was part of a panel of experts at the launch of "Science, Evolution and Creationism."

Yet another example of American believers being told to keep their mouths shut and keep their faith confined to the shadows and maybe Sunday, as long as they don't really believe what they are saying. We are to accept without question what "scientists" tell us, which is precisely what they accuse us of doing. Again I say, does anyone else see the irony in that?
