Evolution=Heroin

A couple of weeks ago, NPR ran a special on remembering the Scopes Trial. At the time I was in the car, and had to make a mad reach for paper and a pen to jot this down (right..I won't talk on the cell phone but will blog while driving) and just now re-discovered the scrap of paper, hence the delay. One of the anti-evolution people interviewed said that without evolution, we'd have no abortion and no homosexuals. A literal parsing sounds like homosexuals are more highly evolved than the rest of us, but I suppose the person really meant that accepting evolution started us down the slippery slope. My favorite assertion about the teaching of evolution to children in school:

They have a right to know heroin is bad, marijuana is bad...they should know about who believes in evolution.

They should know about who believes in evolution. Not about what's wrong with evolution, but who believes in evolution. Science teachers are the equivalent of drug pushers, and evolution is like heroin. It'll ruin your life! Make you an addict to secularism! You'll lose your house, your cars paying for it! Go to jail!
