On his radio show today, Beck wondered how many people in the country believe in evolution, and said he doesn't: "I don't think we came from monkeys. I think that's ridiculous. I haven't seen a half-monkey, half-person yet."
"If I get to the other side and God's like, 'You know what, yep, you were a monkey once,' I'll be shocked, but I'll be cool with it," he said.

Oh no, our Federal Science Minister is a dope Christian
Get these people out of power!
Our Conservative government continues to embarrass us on a planetary scale.
I know I shouldn't be surprised, this is a Harper appointment after all, but but, the man is clearly unqualified for the job of *Science* minister. Perhaps that is Harper's point.
"Shucks we don't understand all this new learnin', then gosh darn either will you."
It might explain why science budgets have been cut by this government. Guess the money for all those Armed Services ads on TV has to come from somewhere.
I don't mind if they want to keep themselves ignorant, but please don't put them in the Science portfolio. Minister of Voodoo, or of "Duh I dunno" perhaps?
Federal Science Minister Gary Goodyear's refusal to say whether he believes in evolution has left scientists questioning what that means for Canadian research.
Dolph Schluter, a professor at the University of British Columbia, told CBCNews.ca in an email that he was "first flabbergasted and then embarrassed" when he heard Goodyear's response to a reporter's question about whether he believed in evolution.
"I'm not going to answer that question," Goodyear, federal minister of state for science and technology, told the Globe and Mail in an article published Tuesday. "I am a Christian, and I don't think anybody asking a question about my religion is appropriate."
Again, I must apologize at the daily ignorance our Conservative government displays to the world.

Rep. Todd Thomsen of Oklahoma tempts to idiofy entire state
HR 1014 − By Thomsen
A resolution disapproving certain actions of the University of Oklahoma regarding the theory of evolution; distribution...
...views that are not shared and are not representative of the thinking of a majority of the citizens of Oklahoma
We'z all idiots, so our children should be too.
The whole document is much more entertaining...

He's trying to ban Richard Dawkins from speaking too. Richard responds:

Creationists visit the museum
Hilarity ensues. Thus is stupidity passed from one generation to the next.
Personally, my money's on the T-Rex praying for the Fall.

Creationism debate continues to evolve
Oh fuck, not here too...
The battle over creationism in the classroom is not unique to small town America, prominent Canadian biologists warn. It's creeping into this country's public school science classes and it's up to parents to do something about it.
Brian Alters, director of the Evolution Education Research Centre at McGill University, says the problem stems from a general de-emphasizing of evolution in our classrooms – from curriculum that barely mentions it, to teachers who avoid a topic they fear will be controversial with students or parents.
Boot them out on the non scientific asses I say, but no one listens to me.

On a related topic...LALALALALA I DONT HEAR YOU*
Teachers [in the U.K.] are dropping controversial subjects such as the Holocaust and the Crusades from history lessons because they do not want to cause offence to children from certain races or religions, a report claims.
Umm, certain historical events *should* offend. Sweden may be a lovely place *now*, but the Vikings were cunts.
What a whimpy age we live in.
