FUCK CREATIONISM
And Noah and his Stupid Ark, too

The Cosmic Star Goat is not one to be trifled with...

With the re-election of George Bush, there is no doubt that the insane
assault on teaching evolutionary theory in public schools will be
stepped up. Fortunately, due to the efforts of people like The National
Center for Science Education, these efforts have been thwarted in every
case, but the Creationists keep trying, sticking their religious noses
where they do not belong.I, for one, am getting rather tired of the
ignorant ramblings of Creationists who are hell-bent or replacing solid,
established science with religious superstition. Why don't Creationists
just read a couple of relevant books that attempt to explain the
undeniable presence of evolution in our natural world? But no, they have
to insist that their ridiculous creation story deserves equal time in a
thinly veiled attempt to dress up Genesis to go to school as science.The
main thrust of Creationist efforts stem from their nauseating bleat that
"Evolution is only a theory". From that point they try to take it
further down the slippery slope, insinuating that if it is only a theory
then it must be little more than a guess and should not be considered as
a viable explanation of the wide variety of life that we observe on
earth today.Well, evolution is a theory and it is also a fact. Evolution
is defined as a change in allele frequency in a population over time.
Evolution has been observed in nature. Evolutionary Theory, explains the
mechanisms of evolution (the fact). Scientific Theories are not merely
guesses as the ignorant Creationists try to portray them. Scientific
Theories describe a large set of observations with as few arbitrary
elements as possible. Good theories make predictions about future events
and are always falsifiable. This means that there must be some way to
render the theory false, if indeed it is false. A good theory also shows
a mechanism, and in the case of evolutionary theory, the mechanism of
natural selection has been widely observed and demonstrated.Evolutionary
theory is the cornerstone of the biological sciences and without it
nothing makes any sense at all. Evolutionary Theory has become stronger
and stronger throughout the years despite many attempts to falsify it.
Sure, scientists have disagreed about the specific mechanism of
evolution, but to try to use this as a wedge to discredit evolutionary
theory and sneak their god in the back door of the Science classroom is
dishonest and laughable. Creationism is not a theory or a fact and I
challenge any creationist to show me just one tenet of creationism that
is scientific, just one.In fact, Creationism is the opposite of science.
In a nutshell, science observes, then explains. Creationism starts with
a rigid conclusion and then looks around for natural phenomena that
might support this conclusion. This is the same thing as shooting an
arrow into a wall and then painting a bull?s eye around it. Science is
self-correcting and ever changing. If a theory is falsified, science
picks itself up and starts looking for another explanation, for science
has no other agenda. Creationism cannot be falsified, it is inflexible,
never changing. Creationism is religious dogma and nothing else.I have a
few questions for Creationists:    * Please use creationism to explain
the development of drug-resistant strains of bacteria. Ask your doctor
why you need to take all of your antibiotics when prescribed. That is
evolution, observable, verifiable and demonstrated in your own body.
* Please provide a creationist explanation of sickle-cell anemia's
relationship to malaria, the Peppered Moth, Australian rabbits and
myxomatosis, or the presence of gills and tails in the early embryonic
stages of virtually all vertebrates (including humans). Use your
precious and much vaunted but never demonstrated creation "model" to
explain the presence of vestigial hind legs in numerous snakes and
whales. Explain why God would have created over 250,000 different
species of beetle. Why did God create over 2,000 different varieties of
fruit-fly (25% of which can only be found in Hawaii)? Why did God create
muscles that allow us to move our ears? What is our appendix for?    *
There are some 8,600 species of birds so far described and 3,700 species
of mammals. 20,000 species of fish are documented out of an estimated
40,000 believed to exist. Known insect species number over 850,000 and
this is estimated as being fewer that 1/5 or even 1/10 of the total
number in extant. The number of catalogued flowering plant species is
over 286,000 and about 4,000 more are catalogued every year. The number
of different species of fungi is in excess of 40,000. If you add it all
up you get over 1.6 billion different forms of life on this planet.
Since over 99% of all life forms that have ever existed are now extinct
we end up with a total species number of as high as 16 billion. Please
explain why your creator went to all this effort only to give one
species any special favors. How did Noah manage to place at least 3.2
billion different life forms on the ark?    * Which of Noah's children
were black? Which were Korean, East Indian, Hispanic? Which had blue
eyes, green eyes, hazel eyes, brown eyes? Which were albino? Which of
Noah's children had brown hair, black hair, blonde hair? Which of Noah's
children had syphilis, AIDS, gonorrhea, tuberculosis, polio, smallpox?
Which of Noah's children had congenital heart defects? Come on, big
mouths, put up or shut up. Lets see this creationism of yours start
explaining things. No one needs to defend evolution any more. That
hasn't needed to be been done for over 100 years. If you can't get with
the program, get out of the game and relegate Creationism to where it
belongs, in classes on Religion, not Science. Only the irrational, the
intellectually impaired and the incredibly stupid can't see that
evolution theories such as theory of change by decent through
modification are the only demonstrable means of explaining the wide
diversity of life that we observe on this planet.This issue makes the
U.S.A. a laughingstock to the rest of the world and should have been
dead and buried decades ago. It makes me sick to have to continue to
fight this flood of ignorance in this day and time, but hopefully truth
and science will prevail and mankind will one day throw off this yoke of
myth and superstition.
