Tuco: Hahahaha, this made my day. Thank you.

Once you institutionalise stupidity and ignorance, the end is becoming visible.

Great post — I had no idea that was the origin of the expression “to pull something out of one’s Butt”…

Origin of Life Drowned In Lake of False Assumptions
Shubinâ??s Subtly Deceptive â??Gill Archesâ?
Flood Carves a Channel Through Uniformitarian Ideas
Falsely Equating Similarity With History
A Soulâ??s Salvation Could Hinge On the Earthâ??s Age
Dawkinsâ?? Indirect Scientific Inference

Mr. Butt’s expose on deceptive gill arches alone is more than enough proof that evolution is not scientific, but in addition to these definitive refudiations of “the pseudo-science of evolutionary propaganda,” Mr. Butt serves in the Bible department at Apologetics Press and also as editor of Discovery, “a colorful monthly magazine on Scripture and science for kids” (http://www.discoverymagazine.com/about.html#what). Discovery is not limited by the narrow definition of “science” commonly used by “scientists,” but instead is committed to the mission of teaching children that “science” isn’t just about “evidence,” as described in the website’s FAQ section:

Science is our main focus, but we run the gamut from archaeology to ethics to miracles. The point of each issue is to build and reinforce Christian faith.

Thus Discovery magazine focuses on a broad range of subjects, tackling both science and miracles with equal dexterity, and features articles on a variety of scientific topics, from God’s design of the vertebrate skeleton to God’s design of bumblebees to God’s design of the snake, and even God’s design of the universe. Not to mention God’s design of dragons, God’s design of eagles, and God’s design of whales. Discovery has also featured articles which:

Showed that the “theory” of evolution is so weak that it can be easily disproved by a single quote by one scientist (“What concrete evidence supports that remarkable theory [evolution] of the origin of life? There is none.” -Robert Jastrow.

Provided incontrovertible proof that “Evolution is Against the Law!”

Systematically dismantled Hume’s empiricism in four paragraphs (“MR. HUME TRIES TO “PULL A FAST ONE” by Trevor Major http://www.discoverymagazine.com/articles/d2000/d0002e.htm)

Additional Discovery articles include:

“The Dead Will Rise!”
“Did Jesus Just Faint?”
“Let’s Hear It For Hair!”
“Something Can’t Come From Nothing”
and
“What Use is the Old Testament Anyway?”

But Mr. Butt’s expertise and analytical skills are not limited to the sciences; his writings have also addressed political and economy concerns (“Defending the Bibleâ??s Position on Slavery”), current events (“Was Moses on Drugs?”), and thorny philosophical questions (“The Problem of Evil”). What’s more, his analysis of The Problem of Evil provides a definitive answer to a question others have struggled to address for centuries in under 4,000 words!

I hope that this information has been useful to you, and I pray that God will guide you in seeing that Mr. Butt’s scientific analysis can lift the veil of scientific ignorance that is keeping you from seeing the True scientific Truth that is right before you but that you cannot see because of the whole veil thing.

May Mr. Butt be the vessel through which God’s knowledge flows unto you.

If the creationists rationalize themselves with the “academic freedom” arguement and in particular the “teach all sides of the question” arguement, then demand the teaching of MARXISM in economics & history classes.

OTOH it might also be interesting to go into the rightie-wingers’ extremist churches and start demanding the teaching of evolution in their Sunday school classes. Do it loud & proud, on a war footing, with a no-compromise attitude that mirrors the fundies’ attitudes in the school board meetings. Eventually arrive at a compromise, thusly: “We’ll stop disrupting your church services and you stop disrupting our educational system. Deal?”
