Battleangel

Propelled by a polished strategy crafted by activists on America’s political right, a battle is intensifying across the nation over how students are taught about the origins of life. Policymakers in 19 states are weighing proposals that question the science of evolution.

The proposals typically stop short of overturning evolution or introducing biblical accounts. Instead, they are calculated pleas to teach what advocates consider gaps in long-accepted Darwinian theory, with many relying on the idea of intelligent design, which posits the central role of a creator.

Scary reading … and even if this does not directly reflect on Europe, the United States keeps drifting farther and farther from reality, which is a problem since we know what they are capable of. The idea of dealing with them on an equal basis seems more insulting and ridiculous by the day.

And perhaps the worst thing about it is the dishonesty. The ways they try to legitimize intelligent design and whatever in such fashion that it could almost seem, to a casual observer, like they mean well.
Not to mention the constant rhetoric about how this constitutes some sort of “openness” or “balance”. I.e. how “Students should be exposed to the Big Bang, evolution, intelligent design and, beyond that, any other belief that a kid in class has. It should all be okay.” It sounds so cosy doesn’t it? Like they are fighting the good fight. Like when right-wing fascists want liberals barred from Universities even though there is a perfectly good reason for the “unbalance”. It’s called reality. And the same goes for this controversy. Bring on astrology, voodoo and scientology. Everything is fine, as long as it discredits evolution.
Teaching anything besides evolution is in a very clever way discrediting. Get a foot in the door and people might start to ask if maybe the foot itself carries some significance. It’s so cleverly orchestrated. These zealots, as well as anyone in the scientific community know that science doesn’t work by manufacturing truths, as religion does. Science, in short, works by hypothesis, corroboration and theory. So it’s pretty convenient to slam science because “they can’t prove evolution”. There is nothing that can be proven beyond doubt and for all time. Nor should there be as it promotes corruption and stagnation. The very definition of religion.

Like the good pastor said in the article …

The strategy this time is not to go for the whole enchilada. We’re trying to be a little more subtle. The fight to teach God’s role in creation is becoming the essential front in America’s culture war. If evolution’s boosters can be forced to back down, the Christian right’s agenda will advance. If you can cause enough doubt on evolution, liberalism will die.

There you have it, the entire plan laid out. And I concur. The master plan here and the obvious risk is that such efforts undermine the entire civil and free society.

Even if 19 states != the entire country, the rule of hegemony will most likely cause a successful spread of ideals. And the central regime is obviously a proponent that wont stand idly by. Through fear, ignorance and conformism the madness will consume this country from within. Every response from us, no matter how reasonable, will only further prove how rightly the US has isolated and alienated themselves. And how the American race must be kept pure and its origins glorified, faith empowered. It is already too late for them. We already know, in our hearts, where this road will take us. Mark my words.
