Danes feel Obama is greater than Jesus

Hi,

That is pretty much my problem with him, his blatant bigotry focused in a particular direction, possibly due to the old problem of familiarity leading to contempt.

Pretty much so. On the other hand, his debates, written and in person, have been principally with Christian authorities. Also, as a geneticist, he focuses almost entirely on the evolutionary questions, and these are mostly expressed by the Western, Christian, societies.

Of course, here in Texas, a number of local and vocal Christians keep trying to influence the School Board, at the state level, to pretend that Intelligent Design and the general scientific approach emobied in Evolution are to be equally treated, which is pretty dim. There are plenty of blinders on fools in this world, all looking for a place to star.

I've often wondered what there is to teach in Creationism or Intelligent Design. Seems that, once you say "God did it all." there's nothing left to say. Makes the rest of the course pretty dull, but the final exam should be easy. :whistling:

And yes, there is no shortage of blinders, or fools, or attention whores. And a disproportionately large number of the intersection of those sets ends up in the media, in politics, or both.

BTW, what's the use of living in Texas if it's colder than Washington? :P
