another completely insane defense of creationism

Attacks on evolution officially go over the edge

I've followed the creationist movement for years, and I thought I'd seen just about every attack on modern biology imaginable. Alas, I was wrong. As one very astute reader brought to my attention, Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum published its latest attack on evolution this week with one argument that left me shaking my head — and reaching for the Tylenol.

Evolutionists claim that their battle against creation-science is primarily a "scientific" issue, not a constitutional question. But our treasured U. S. Constitution is written by persons and for persons. If man is an animal, the Constitution was written by animals and for animals. This preposterous conclusion destroys the Constitution. The Aguillard Humanists leave us with no Constitution and no constitutional rights of any kind if they allow us to teach only that man is an animal.

These subtle and dangerous attacks on God Himself and the Constitution must be repelled.

They don't appear to be kidding. As far as the Eagle Forum is concerned, this is a legitimate and reasoned argument against modern science. Wow.

On a related note, a month after Kansas undercut its biology standards and redefined the meaning of "science," South Carolina is poised to follow in Kansas' footsteps.

A proponent of teaching various theories of human origin, which include creationism, gained support Monday from the state's public school reform oversight panel.

At the urging of Sen. Mike Fair, R-Greenville, the Education Oversight Committee voted 8-7 to strike from high school biology standards wording that tied schools to teaching only evolution.

The mind reels.

Man, these anti-science wackos aren't even trying to make sense anymore! Apparently since they are arguing against scientific reasoning they feel logic and comprehensible arguments are not necessary!
