“No. There isn’t anything “stupider” in a classroom than bringing deus ex machina explanations into it.”

Then you haven’t been paying attention. What’s currently going on in our national education systems is full fledged indoctrination into Leftist religious beliefs. It’s far worse than creationism that only wants to make a small statement. The degree of indoctrination is so much greater than the creationist position that there really is no comparison.

re: #219 Salamantis

Then you need to put on your thinking cap. See above.

This is ludicrous and laughable. First creationists rant against secularism and atheism, then they rail against environmentalism, and then they possess the utter temerity and gall to call both of these religious beliefs. While some environmentalists are undoubtedly Gaian pagans, others embrace different religious perspectives, or none at all, without suffering any cognitive contradiction whatsoever, because the biospheric environmental ecosystem is an immanent and empirical, not a transcendent or metaphysical, phenomenon. And to call atheism and secularism religions is kinda like calling baldness a hairstyle.

I think you’d have a helluva time putting on a thinking cap, because that requires an at least potentially thinking head.
