Discover This

Our state, thanks to our religiously wonky governor (yes, I voted for him anyway), is now the only state in the Union to include "intelligent design" in its science curricula. Sigh. God, I hate the religious right! The Discovery Institute - a right wing creationism center that wraps itself in the preservation of "academic freedom" has apparently led the charge on Louisiana Schools. Of course, these are Louisiana schools which according to their own tests fails regularly to teach the vast majority of their students anything substantive anyway - why not teach them mythology as fact and call it science? But I digress. The Discover Institute has as one of its highlights the "fact" that Hitler believed in Darwinism ergo Darwinism is intrinsically evil. Okay. I'll go along with that only if they accept the premise that the Bible was used to sanction slavery so the Bible must then be evil.
