There's nothing inherently elitist about learning, education, and erudition- but when the educated elite pour their contempt down upon Teh Dumbass Masses just over <I>religion itself</I>, which is the dominant paradigm even among scientists... it's just breathtakingly stupid. It's alienating for no good reason at all, and it gives MOUNTAINS of ammunition to the Discovery Institute and every other batch of slimeballs with an interest in portraying the ebil evolutionists as arrogant, close-minded, and out of touch.<BR/><BR/>The other side doesn't NEED to build their own straw men when we have our own scarecrows...LabRathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05244213491162693858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-43223633800706086502008-07-16T12:14:00.000-07:002008-07-16T12:14:00.000-07:00Between The Avenger and The Saint, we had good tel...Between The Avenger and The Saint, we had good television.
