It's fascinating watching the Christianist writers during this first week of the new year. My favorite so far, Renew America's Michael Bresciani's article in which he trots out the classic fantasies: nothing humanity could do could the end the Earth, because only God can do that, therefore global warming is a myth. Barak Obama is apparently a brilliant evil mastermind and a naive clueless idiot.

But my favorite is still this:
Cronies of Darwinism fare no better. If we look like monkeys we must have come from monkeys the millions of missing links notwithstanding. The Darwin scheme has seen its better day since the advent of creation science but why give it up?
Muahahahahah. How's that research program coming? When was the last time an agricultural or pharmaceutical company used either Creation Science or "Intelligent Design" to treat cancer or cure obesity?

Creation Science hasn't helped a single child overcome disease. And I won't hold my breath.

Hell Creation Science has failed to produce a single testable hypothesis.

I'll bet it's killed more than a few, though...

I'm not even sure what he means here.

Hey, now, Creation Computational Biology is making great strides. I have it on good authority that the Discovery Institute is about to publish a database of several billion novel human SNPs revealed by their Jesus-based whole-genome shotgun assembler concurrently with their paper in next week's Nature Theology.

Ob Global Warming: See this post that I recently made.

Ob "Coming from Monkeys":

Ummm… hasn't comparison of the human genome and the chimpanzee genome revealed that we are at least 96% identical? Now, that may not prove that humans "came from monkeys" — but it does prove that humans are monkeys. (Okay, not monkeys, apes. ^_^ )
