I don't understand how people like this guy and Todd Akin can get on government science committees.
How do they get these jobs handed to them, what is the vetting procedure?

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

Re: Reflect the electorate
Sixty percent of Republicans are Creationists of the Broun strip.
That is a crazy high percentage. In the UK it is 17%

Representative Broun's beliefs may be wacky, but get back to me when he has actually done something that is demonstrably damaging to our country ok?
Don't you think that anyone with wacky ideas shout not be in a position of political power?
As a Brit this kind of talk would be a huge issue and one that would be lambasted significantly. When I see this kind of talk (apparently) being viewed as acceptable it's amazing.
Many non Americans would see this attitude as hopelessly provincial.

Yes one can be quite productive in one's job despite crazy notions but would you really want a government where some based their ideas on a Bronze Age book?
And just so we both know what we are talking about his interpretation of said book need not match yours.
Is that what you want?

The western world has been becoming progressively more socialist since the french revolution. There is the common man who lives day to day by the sweat of his brow and then there is the "educated" man who tries to control the "intellectual and cultural world" through his trade. This includes all forms of media and universities and scientific institutions. Anything that influences what a man thinks and believes is a prime target for these "elites". Centralized control of mankind just seems to fit naturally for these "elite" type of people who are not like the common man. They certainly are not adverse to it. Those who wish the world to be controlled by an oligarchy of people who all think alike are not content to just try a few measures here and there. They are aggressive and will not cease from their efforts until their goals are accomplished. This is why you see such consternation and threats of becoming expatriated when someone not of their ilk takes the reigns of power.
Perfect description of any Abrahamic religion.

Re: Mainstream Media? Really?
Can I assume that this means that you have little if any accedemic qualification?
Often people make a virtue out of their lack of education; are you guilty of this?
Should people (potential yourself) who are very uninformed be considered qualified to have an opinion on the subject to hand? Would you support putting me in charge of a nation's fiscal policy? After all I have no education in economics so would not have been brainwashed (as you point out) and would also not be a victim of group think.
Should I have that job?

Re: Mainstream Media? Really?
What facts?
Perhaps you would like to educate yourself via the gift of the Internets. Honestly, they provide so much information that once you have absorbed it you can come back here to discuss it.
Or not do that and ask for what has been provided an ignored for years.

Now that you have explained what you beleive (it's refreshing to read a frank an concise post of that nature on EvC) can you explain why you beleive it?
What evidence informs your beliefs?

Re: Are you wrong about everything
God commands us to hate evil.
God also commands you to kill gay people. Do you do that?

Re: Are you wrong about everything
Maybe you read the Bible and find out exactly what it says instead of parroting what you have been told by people?
There are several other verses that say gay people would be killed. You would know this if you did not relly on other people to think for you.
Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
Romans 1:26-27 "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."

Re: Are you wrong about everything
You are right, of course.
I thought a bit of Biblical context was in order as FEY was characteriing motivation and knowledge of myself as a result of his ignorance about his religion and I simply had to bring it up.
Not the most on topic of posts though, I cannot disagree.
