« Mershaullk : You'd be surprised how many people believe that. The new-ish "documentary" Expelled certainly didn't help things either. I swear, since that movie came out I've had to tell so many people in my town of it's ridiculous logic and plain out lies (I'm kinda the town atheist [yeah, I know that's sad, but I live in Kentucky...]).I'd vaguely heard of that movie, but just watched the trailer now:

Holy s**t!! People are DUMB!! This guy making the movie, he's a freakin' moron! I almost want to watch this show, if only to sit in awe at some people's backwards and twisted beliefs.

I love/hate how the narrator describes the situation as though free speech isn't tolerated. Ridiculing someone for spouting nonsense is not a violation of anyone's free speech!]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/69888/1/rss2_0.rss#q6http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/69888/1/rss2_0.rss#q6plime.com « Mershaullk : You'd be surprised how many people believe that.

If I'm reading it right the film makes out that Evolution is a great conspiracy. That sounds like great fun.

Scientist1: Lets use all our cunning and resources to perpetrate a lie around the world. When the people believe it they will be condemned to hell.
Scientist2: Why?
Scientist1: Because it will be funny.

Of course, I can be flippant as I don't regularly come into contact with people who believe something along those lines.

That might switch it from frivolous to incredibly infuriating.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/69888/1/rss2_0.rss#q5http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/69888/1/rss2_0.rss#q5plime.com « chinook : Lovely interview, I love how it didn't degrade into a religion vs science fight.

I couldn't believe that caller, though - WWII came about because of belief in evolution? WTF?You'd be surprised how many people believe that.
