Evolution
Science wins out over bronze-age Middle Eastern mythology (for now) in that perennial battlefield, Kansas.
I wish more people understood what a sheer national embarrassment the creationist nonsense is. I can remember telling people from places like Japan and Taiwan that there are actually substantial groups in the US that want to teach religious mythology alongside evolution in science classes, and having them stare at me in a way that made it quite clear that they could hardly believe what I was saying. Of course the traditional religions in those countries have creation myths of their own, but nobody there advocates teaching those myths in science classes alongside evolution, and they have a very hard time imagining that such a thing could happen in a country as advanced as the US.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
