This is fucking absurd, but I don't think they have enough vulgar and detracting statements out there to describe the blatent  stupidity that this is.
Did you know that the earth revolves around the sun? Along with all other 9 8 planets and .

I know, fucking revolutionary right? I totally didn't steal the idea from this guy. Nope. Not at all.

Sigh. Seriously people, it's been 493 fucking years since this theory was published. Almost 5 fucking centuries! We have been to SPACE for fuck's sake, how do you think we did that? This isn't an idle guess they decided to just go with, there was research - centuries of it! - and . . . they are totally not listening. Fuck.
This is why we don't allow unintelligent design in to the classroom. These people don't even know what the fuck a scientific theory is, so they aren't shouldn't be allowed to spout ricockulous bullshit and call it science. Sometimes I swear, these people will look at something and if it's too complicated for them to understand, or it doesn't fit into their nice little box, then they assume it must be false. I suppose it's hard to have the idea that we are tiny insignificant little animals that developed through millions of years of trial and error shoved in your face with all it's "evidence", when you've been thinking you're the sky daddy's super special little buddy, created in his very own image and sent here to do his bidding. The truth is a disillusioning bitch huh?
Hat tip

It's wonderful to discover that one of the men your father revere's make's such well-thought out statements as

"In "A Christian Manifesto," he warned against wrapping Christianity in the American flag, but added, "None of this, however, changes the fact that the United States was founded upon a Christian consensus, nor that we today should bring Judeo-Christian principles into play in regard to government." Schaeffer was one of the first evangelical leaders to get deeply involved in the fight against abortion, and he advocated civil disobedience and the possible use of force to stop it. "It is time we consciously realize that when any office commands what is contrary to God's Law it abrogates its authority," he wrote."

Just....fuck. I hoped and hoped that my dad might be a little more realistic then my mother about political things. Like understanding that freedom of religion means freedom of ANY religion, not just the freedom to practice some bland flavor of X-tianity.

Other great points from these people include:

"Charles Colson accepts one hundred people annually into his yearlong "worldview training" courses, which include meetings in Washington, D.C., online seminars, "mentoring," and several hours of homework each week. "The program will be heavily weighted towards how to think," Colson's Web site says. It's intended for those who work in churches, media, law, government, and education, and who can thus teach others to think the same way."

And here I thought I knew how to think! Guess not, or maybe I just don't kow how to think the 'right' (ha ha terrible pun) way. Seems as if the course is intended to brainwash help you learn to think the godly way. For instance apparently these people know god's opinions on everything!

"The documents outline a complete political program, with a "biblically correct" position on issues like taxes (God favors a flat rate), public schools (generally frowned upon), and the media and the arts ("We deny that any pornography and other blasphemy are permissible as art or 'free speech'")."

But isn't speaking for god kind of blasphemous? Guess it's okay if it's done for furthering the interests of the religious right.

Another gem statement here;

"Only Christianity offers a comprehensive worldview that covers all areas of life and thought, every aspect of creation. Only Christianity offers a way to live in response to the realities that we find in this world. Only Christianity."

I'm sure they would probably have issue's with these people seeing as how I doubt they think in the pre-approved way. Especially considering they probably follow (Le GASP!) Evolution! The theory that's full of holes (says the sieve to the bucket ).

NASA won't allow it's scientists to inform the people even if it is about something that could drastically change everyone's life.

"it appears that several agencies are laboring to silence scientists who are researching climate trends and alterations, especially where they have knowledge about the degree to which human activities are playing a role in the rapid and historically inexplicable heating of the planet's surface and atmosphere."

It's nice to know our government is protecting all of us poor stupid commoners from being terrified by the big bad scary truth about (Le GASP!!) Global warming!

"The case in point is that of Dr. James Hansen, head of climatology research for NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies...He became a whistleblower for two reasons: one, the institution he works for was participating in a campaign to withhold and to distort evidence related to climate science, so his revelations are designed to correct the disinformation; two, he could face retaliatory hostile treatment by superiors just for revealing something no one has a legal right to hide"

here comes the hammer...

"NASA's reaction, in the words of one report, was to place him under "administrative house arrest. It has also been reported by TomPaine.com that "Political appointees boasted they would 'make the president look good' by imposing blanket prior restraint, denying interview requests, announcing that agency-selected replacements would substitute for him, and threatening 'dire consequences' if he disobeyed".

Apparently now NASA=parents, in that they can spank you for "disobediance". WTF? I wonder if NASA will be called out for scientist-abuse?

"He did. Hansen appeared on CBS' 60 Minutes program and other national media. Scientists, academics and journalists formed a wave of support for Hansen and his right to speak openly and freely about public science, and NASA declared its intention to reform its media policy, saying it recognized the rights of individual employees to employ their First Amendment rights to freedom of expression."

What? No spanking? Well at least they are making an effort for free speech and promoting a healthy scientific...oh wait...

"The new media policy still places government scientists under harsh restrictions and still seems aimed to give superiors control over what the media hear and discuss, as related to agency work. This standard seems not only to work against the First Amendment, but its lean toward censorship also violates a number of other federal laws."

I thought they changed the policy? They must have meant to their advantage, not the employees' or the public.

"The policy bans anonymous disclosures, controls the timing of information’s release and institutionalizes prior restraint censorship through 'review and clearance by appropriate officials' for 'all NASA employees' involved in 'preparing and issuing' public information. This means that scientists can be censored and will need advance permission from the 'appropriate' official before anything can be released."

So, no telling the public anything that might make us look bad, oh and be home by 10! Here's the money quote IMHO

"The EPA, charged literally as the agency for 'environmental protection', has a policy that scientists may not disclose any research without authorization and are forbidden from "initiating contact" with reporters, to "prevent EPA management from being surprised by news coverage". This level of control of information clearly runs contrary to the agency's mission to ensure that a clear and objective picture of the environmental impact of human activities be known and that relevant actions be taken to curb any detrimental practices."
