Square water melons and genetically engineered food are samples that once in a while, life is created. Not a proof, but a plausibility.

According to the NYT, Richard Dawkins was misled into giving an interview for the new documentary on the oppressive close mindedness of those who think lessons on creationism don’t belong in the science classroom. The documentary, “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed,” is hosted by Ben Stein, and from the looks of the trailer, it Michael Moore-esque.

The distortion of scientific research is not a new tactic by those on the right. James Dobson and Paul Cameron have by widely criticized by the scientific community for twisting research on gay families to fit into their anti-gay ideologies.

That the distortion of scientific research is an essential part of the religious right’s strategy of promoting creationism in the public schools and their anti gay agenda. Since there is no legitimate scientific research supporting their side, they must fabricate it. I think it’s shameful that they manipulate science in order to undermine it.

I am no butcher but I do know that when an animal is stressed (this includes having its throat cut) then brain rushes the body with adrenalin to compensate. This causes the meat to become tough and chewy and tastes awful. Surely not good for business - you’d think? Stupid Muslims.

Thanks for posting that. I recently wrote to a number of my MPs (I live in Scotland, so have about 7 for this/that/the other) and received a stock response from the education minister in charge of such things to the same effect. I’ll type it up and post it.
