"I'm thankful the Kansas Board of Education has decided to no longer burden our young people with all this fairy tale stuff about evolution. Many of us want to return to a time when life was less hectic and complicated and our State Board is determined to get us there...Somewhere around the 13th century."
So there you have it. Those who believe God and His account of the history of the world are somehow backwards and stuck in the days when chickens weigh the same as witches (yes, I enjoy Monty Python movies). Mr. New York Times Editor is so convinced that Creationism is so irrelevant to education, he has spent 3 editorials making comments about it. It reminds me of the woman growing up in the atheistic Soviet Union, who wondered why the government spent so much time fighting a God that didn't exist.
Apparently he is not the only one. A Kansas University professor was forced to apologize for calling creationists "fundies". He was planning on teaching a class that links mythologies with Biblical creationism. Part of the article states:
The department faculty approved the course Monday but changed its title. The course, originally called "Special Topics in Religion: Intelligent Design, Creationisms and other Religious Mythologies," will instead be called "Intelligent Design and Creationism."
So now a professor of the religious studies department is going to bash Christians and IDers. Please notice that he is chairman of the Religious Studies Dept.. There is a reason for this. The theory of evolution didn't come about because of science. Charles Darwin didn't discover anything new. What Darwin did was give scientific credibility to a philosophical movement already in full swing. In other words, evolution and creationism are philosophically and theologically (or lack of theology) driven.
College and University professors and local New York Times Editors seem to feel the need to marginalize their opposition. Their feelings are well founded. More and more people are becoming educated on how the subject of origins can turn whole nations towards God or away from Him. More and more people are seeing that the subject of origins affects the laws of the land. I now firmly believe that most Americans are tired of the left in this country. They are tried of their screwy reasoning and siding with terrorists and being anti-American in general. We are tired of being told we are stupid.
Only in colleges and newspapers is the consumer told he is wrong and stupid. That is now changing. The left no longer has the monopoly in the media. We simply don't have to take their nonsense, and unproven and empty philosophies anymore. Instead, let us take all thoughts captive and submit them to Christ.
Soli Deo Gloria

Howie,
I've often wondered how a left-winger like the newspaper editor you cite survives in western Kansas. Some enterprising person could really gain market share in Scott City if they put out a paper with an editorial point-of-view in keeping with area residents'p-o-v.

Doggone it! Don't you just hate being called stupid when you just know you have all the answers? Ain't it enough to make your nose run? I'll tellya what you should do. Throw a challenge at them dadblamed evolutionists. Tell'em you're going to open up your Sunday Schools, so they can have equal time to preach their philosophy -- that is, for every 15 minutes the Christians are afforded to present the story of Adam and Eve, you'll give'em 15 minutes of church pew time to talk about Darwin, or whomever. Let's put this separation-of-church-and-state doctrine to rest, once and for all.
Don't you just hate thinking you're clever when no one else does?
Boy, talk about missing the point and attempting to do it with satire to boot.
I have to ask hl, "Did you even read the Blog?"
