It's finely tuned and calculated for a specific outcome in the political arena. Science and evolution have to do with repeatable observations that all can experience and reproduce. No one has monopoly on the truth there.
With ID, its all about the controversy and nothing else. |
I agree with this as far as the leaders are concerned.
What confuse me though are the regular people. People like my neighbors. I went to a men’s group at a Presbyterian church and a guy said he minored in paleontology and he thinks the science is hog wash and that the bible is the truth. I really could not believe it. I was so stunned that I did not even know what to say.
But it is fear Og. Fear and shame drive a lot of what we see in people.
