pat robertson is nutz!

Robertson claimed "evolutionists worship atheism," evolutionary theory a "cultish religion"

Summary: On CBN's The 700 Club, host Pat Robertson claimed that "the evolutionists worship atheism" and that because "evolution becomes their religion" it is "an establishment of religion contrary to the First Amendment." Robertson went on to suggest that evolution advocates were "fanatics," stating further, "it is a religion, it is a cult. It is cultish religion."

I was going to say "have you ever heard a more bizarre argument, utterly lacking in logic", but this is 2005 and, with bush in power, of course you have!
That said, though, this is thoroughly bizarre!
"Evolution becomes their religion"?!?! No, evolution is science and people who believe in science believe that science should be taught in the science class. Not too hard to follow that argument!
Evolution has nothing to do with religion one way or another - it is not for or against religion. It is simply science. Science and religion can go hand in hand - if you are not a lunatic!
