One in Eight U.S. Biology Teachers Teaches Creationism

    I think it is clear – America will soon be a theocracy.  We are all in trouble.

  • http://evilpoet-lostinthought.blogspot.com/ EvilPoet

    Actually, that’s been clear to some of us who live in America for quite some time. See this website: http://www.theocracywatch.org

    You know, I never thought I would say something like that in my lifetime. As usual – my Mom was correct: never say never.

  • JDWright

    I fear that as well, and when that day seems near, I plan to pack my bags and be gone as fast as possible.

  • L mac

    i dont know wat a theocracy is, but shattered if you live in america

  • Loky

    i completly agree with L mac, it appears australia has a 78.3987% better chance of survival so then that would australia better

  • Zizzle

    Umm guys clearly its more like 78.3988%. God get it right. I don't want to have to fire you two.

  • Bad Boy

    AH… zizzle, it 78.3987% as if you take into account the shifting theory of smith air, then we see that the last 8 is actually a 7 because of that law, ill fire you mister

  • Harlzord

    Bad Boy? What kind of name is that. How can we put trust in anything this joker says? Am I right? AM I?! Thats what i thought. Crazy kids, screwing with the stats. I think you will find that % Zizzle and Badboy is actually the likelyhood of you being gay together. Its pretty damn high.

  • Hulio Mendez

    Um… well wat kind of stupid weiner name is harlzord, you get as much ass as a urinal, that percent is the chances of you wanting to have a romantic connection with L mac, you will take him out for a nice seafood dinner and never call him again!, thats wat i thought harlzord. (fagmuffin)

  • Juli bear

    Wtf are you talking about Hulio. Urinals dont get ass you moron. Go back to mexico and stop sucking up to L mac. Him and Locky are clearly far to cool for you. Stick with your own kind like ziz and the gang. Pfft you are the biggest joke ever. Go eat some tacitos.

  • mike snifferpippets

  • Count Snugglepuss

    Your name might as well be mike kisserassets. Your practically making out, with this so called Lmac's (wat i imagine would be incredible) ass. Why are you responding as Hulio yet your name is mike. Multiple personalities i see. Are you on the run. Should i fear for my life? Nah with names like that you with probably be a gay ice dancer or something. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF PPLS ASSES BUDDY!

This is a continuation of my reply to Andrew Finden’s “one last philosophical hurrah” post, and addresses the question “why believe there is a god?” It is encouraging to read the opening statement of this section where Andrew admits “that one can cannot prove that God exists”, however he quickly (and rightly) dismisses philosophical materialism…
