Wow…
I’ve heard dumb arguments against evolution before, and I’ve heard weird arguments against evolution (both thanks to Prof. Myers), but this one takes the cake:
Evolution too boring
Yes, you read that right. 3v1lution is bad because it’s as exciting as watching flies fuck! And it goes downhill from there:
Re: Jan. 21 commentary “Don’t call creationism science.”
John Young’s [op-ed columnist for the Waco Tribune-Herald] column is another attempt to keep the Institute of Creation Research from attaining a graduate degree program for creation science.
Young fails to see that Darwinism has failed to pique the interest of students to further their academic knowledge. Except for T-rex kicking dinosaur butt, evolution stinks. It’s boring and no self-respecting kid is going to lay claim that he came from a monkey.
Darwinism has contributed more to the dumbing down of our kids than all the negligent, uncaring, uninvolved and pathetic parents combined.
See what I mean? First off he plays the persecuted victim card. Then, he falsely asserts that it’s the subject matter, not the manner in which it is presented that’s turning off students. The “3v1lution sez we came frum monkeez” trope is just standard IDiot fare. But then he finishes by saying that merely talking about evolution (conflating it with “Darwinism” is yet another creationist trope) makes our kids stupid.
I swear, the stupid burns so much that I can’t even form a coherent response. Dr. Myers, wanna give it a try?
