O’Reilly is smart enough that there’s no way he’s thought about evolution and concluded the evidence isn’t there. Now he can believe that evidence means nothing, and that the world was created to look exactly as if evolution were true. Or, more likely, he can believe he’ll get better ratings if he bangs away at Dawkins and calls him a fascist.

How can somebody be a fascist for insisting that the State ought not to have the power to use science class to instill its favorite religion in the heads of the little darlings?

How can a devoutly religious creationist not understand that once that power is in the hands of the State, who can say how it will be used? That’s the kind of “evolution” we can all see playing out over such a short time scale that one life can span it.
