Man after God's own heart

He's David, King of Israel, a man after God's own heart.

And puts Tony Soprano to shame.

Plenty of stupidity to spread around

Every time I open the paper and read the latest bit of Islamist insanity, I console myself with the fact that, "Well, at least they're not creationists."

Fuck.

Here's a telling scientist quote in the article that really gets to the "heart" of creationism (be it Christian, Islamic or otherwise):

“In our country we are used to nonsense like this,” said Kevin Padian, an evolutionary biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, who, like colleagues there, found a copy in his mailbox.

He said people who had received copies were “just astounded at its size and production values and equally astonished at what a load of crap it is.

“If he sees a picture of an old fossil crab or something, he says, ‘See, it looks just like a regular crab, there’s no evolution,’ ” Dr. Padian said. “Extinction does not seem to bother him. He does not really have any sense of what we know about how things change through time.”

Creationists don't know shit? Well, fancy that.
