About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

Thank you for the link, Infidel. It's quite an honor. :)
Oh! That interview! What's wrong with people? Here's a quote from it, part of an answer: "I have no problem with the story of the creation found in the Bible being a part of mainstream education-"
And here's a link to a blog post at The Lippard Blog about an ongoing "scuff" involving that topic and more in an American public school.
Good grief, the excerpts quoted in that posting you linked are a little horror in themselves. I'm amazed those twits can even spell "God".
If these people want to teach religious mythology alongside evolution in schools, there is no basis for favoring the Biblical myth over those of Hinduism, Shinto, the ancient Roman or Egyptian religions, or what have you (as I suggested in the comments on EurSoc, one could argue that the Roman mythology is more truly "Western" than the Biblical one). Of course the study of all those myths does have its place, but in cultural anthropology and history of religion, not science classes.
