Creationism vs evolution.

The creationism vs. evolution debate has come to the fore again today after B*sh endorsed teaching both competing theories. That's truly scary that the man running the country (or at least the public figurehead) is such a believer that he thinks creationism should be taught in schools. The undisputable fact is that The Bible is a work of fiction, and schools must not teach fiction as fact, for any subject matter.

I don't particularly care what people believe in on these grounds, but what I do care about is that creationism should absolutely not be taught in schools. If anything, it should be taught in church where it belongs, then those who choose to believe that sort of thing can learn about it, and those who don't won't be subjected to it.



What's kinda funny is I took the Atheist test today too :-) The results...

The Ardent Atheist

The results are in, and it appears that you have scored 76%...
You are an atheist, pure and simple. You think God is just one big lie,
and consider religious people to be both annoying and beneath you. Ardent atheists will argue tooth and claw for their position, and have no truck with
people that won't listen. You think being an atheist is the only way to
lead an honest life, and see no reason to accept the pleas of faith. Ardent atheists are the backbone of atheism. Be proud.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On
