Most of you know how to answer creationist nonsense. And you know it almost never works — no matter how many times you show their arguments to be faulty or outdated, they still insist they are right. But for those of you, like myself, who keep trying for some stupid reason, you might enjoy 15 Answers to Creationist Nonsense at Scientific American.

Good read! Some of those comments are priceless. Idiots blithering on about the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and lack of transitional fossils would amuse me if their weren’t so many of them. It’s like they didn’t even ready the article, or they did and rejected scientific data if favor of a magical man with a beard.
It’s remarkable how so many people hold onto these primitive beliefs of a god. Humanity uses has used god to explain the unexplainable for eons, while science actually attempts to reveal the natural world as it truly is. Religionists would rather revel in ignorance and the unexplainable than attempt to pentrate the mysteries of our existence. Maybe they fear as science explains more and more, their “god of the gaps” becomes smaller and smaller. Pretty soon their won’t be any room left.
Please tell the McCain/Palin Campaign (preferrably politely) why teaching creationism in our public schools around America is superstitious and is not in our nation’s best interests. These are the feelers McCain has out there, the way in which Americans can have a voice and be heard by his campaign:
Contact his campaign directly here:

Or go to his blogs and leave a polite message about the subject matter wherever appropriate:

Remember, McCain does a lot of things right and is a great heroic war veteran who genuinely puts his country first, but Creationism is one key area where he is completely wrong and could potentially create a major setback for American students and businesses. We can’t let America fall behind foriegn countries in the departments of Science and Technology because of his superstitious beliefs.
I have a feeling I will be referring to this article many many times in the future :) thanks for the link! Since I’m not a scientist and don’t always argue as well as I wish I could, this will be very helpful.
