Rick Santorum has written the foreword for the
upcoming book,
"Darwin's Nemesis: Phillip Johnson And the Intelligent Design Movement." For those of you who aren't familiar with Johnson, Wikipedia describes him as "the father of the intelligent design movement." Here's how
Publishers Weekly describes the book:
This Festschrift from friends—and a couple of friendly critics—honors Phillip Johnson, the Berkeley law professor whose 1991 publication Darwin on Trial and later books helped intelligent design emerge as a highly visible, and highly controversial, alternative to Darwinism. While it may be premature to hail Johnson as "Darwin's Nemesis," these essays reveal him as an influential strategist and mentor within the ID movement.
Do you think Rick's foreword will mention his
recent opposition to teaching intelligent design in classrooms?
Outside of his scientific ignorance (and inability to acknowledge the same), he's got this strange idea that courtroom rules apply to "evidence" and "proof" in scientific matters. In point of fact, a procedural rule won't make a fact of nature go away....
Cheers,
But he also claims in one of his books that lawyers are more qualified to judge the evidence for evolution than scientists.
As opposed you, you know, lawyers are better at advocating for their clients by twisting the facts to the most favorable interpretation.
Of course he is.
The "ID movement" is purely political and relies on semantic arguments to convince rubes that their religious faith is just as good as science when it comes to understanding anything that happened prior to the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Phil Johnson is one of the most ignoble disgusting humans ever to walk the planet.
What is remarkable is that he was tolerated by law students at Boalt. But then again a lot of students at Boalt are self-worshipping sacks of intellectually lazy shite.
How do I know? I work with them. Or should I say -- they work for me.
Enjoy.
• If 'God-Jehovah' is the Intelligent Designer AND the Author of the Bible, then how come he didn't have more information than the tribal Hebrew about how the whole damn thing works? Or couldn't they write fast enough?
• If random mutation can cause a deadly virus like AIDS to appear, then how is that an 'Intelligent Design'? The problems of being sentient humans in a microbial stew are so dangerous, it's hard to imagine that the 'Intelligent Designer' would leave it up to chance.
• When the presumptive 'Intelligent Designer' said, "Let there be light," the stars were born. Since we now have PROOF that the stars are different ages, did he have the hiccoughs, or what?
• If Jesus was the Son of the 'Intelligent Designer,' why don't people who call themselves Christians follow his words, instead of their dogmas? For instance, when Jesus said that, "Everything hidden will become known," why are they so afraid of scientific evolutionary fact becoming known? Instead, they want to skew the facts, and lower the educational level of their followers, in favor of falsehoods.
• Would a real follower of the 'Son of the ID' work against the discoveries of the intelligent?
The Human Rights Campaign expects Casey to support second-parent adoption, civil unions, domestic-partner benefits and expanding federal hate crime laws to cover crimes motivated by sexual orientation and gender identity.
Casey opposes both state and federal constitutional amendments that would define marriage as between one man and one woman.
CNN.com - A Magic Way to Earn Billions:
The wording is so bland and buried so deep within a 324-page budget document that almost no one would notice that a multibillion-dollar scam is going on. Not the members of Congress voting for it and certainly not the taxpayers who will get fleeced by it. And that is exactly the idea.[...]
Asked again by TIME to identify the author, the Senate Finance aide later wrote in an e-mail, "the provision originated as an amendment from Sen. [Rick] Santorum [a Pennsylvania Republican].
...Yet, he is at heart a politician and he'll do ANYTHING to stay in power...so watch out for a very dirty campaign. The mud-slinging from this purported "Christian" will be intense. I just wish he could explain how that whole "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" thing works...
Goodbye Ricky.
