Picked this up form someones signature which made me smile.

"In a recent poll it was shown that 66% of americans feel President Bush is doing a poor job managing the war in Iraq.      The other 34% of Americans believe Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church."

Glad to see some of them have a sense of humour. But the level of ignorance in middle America is still scary.

Need to edit and comment on this later!

There has always been hostility from many fundamentalist Christians towards evolutionary theory, and by extension to science in general. This is the first time I've seen the rationale for that hostility laid out clearly.

The whole article is here. There's much that is plain wrong in the article, and more that I disagree with - but the crux is this section:

Dr. Paul J Dean's Weblog
According to evolutionary theory, the earth evolved over billions of years. During that long period of time, creatures/animals lived and died, and, they died before human beings evolved. The problem lies in the fact that both the Old and New Testaments (Genesis 1; Romans 5; etc.) attribute death to the sin of Adam. Adam sinned and death entered into the world (Rom. 5:12). Because of sin and death entering into the world, human beings are born spiritually dead in sin. As such, they are in need of a Savior. Of course, that is why God sent His Son into the world: to save dead sinners from their sin. If death is not the result of sin, then there is no need for a Savior. If there is no need for a Savior, then there is no need for Christ and the cross, and Christianity itself falls to the ground. Evolution is not merely a debate over origins, though it is that. It is a direct attack on the cross of Jesus Christ and His atoning work. I encourage Christians who may believe that God could have used evolution to think this reality through and discard the unbiblical worldview to which you subscribe.
