The problem is that whenever the evolution (or global warming or whatever) is "debated" in the classroom and then the teevee "debates" both sides, and THEN Sunday School reaffirms only one side, guess which one is believed? Because suddenly it seems that science doesn't know crap. Afterall, if they can't predict if it will rain tomorrow, how can they know the earth is warming let alone prove we is done come from munkeez? duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh AGHGHHGH BRAIN EXPLODING Improving primary education will fix that in a generation or two.

And lastly, 4 in 5 Americans have the intelligence of an amoeba dancing the cha-cha to the tune of "Don't Trust Them New Niggas Over There." (sarcasm hat off) I'm not entirely sure the sarcasm hat was warranted there. I don't want to see actual polls, because I fear that real numbers may confirm my IPIOMA ones. At the very least, the presidential nominee election seems to suggest that at least a portion of them wouldn't consider that song to be something decent and good. But on a darker note, there are still way too many that think like that. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the Minute Men.

I'm trying to remember which, if any, fundies use both simultaneously. Kent Hovind fits the "This is science!" pathway. Because he was once a high school teacher, he acts like that makes him qualified to tell people about science. The other pathway is one I hear mostly from creationists on the internet. "Evolution is a religion too!", "Evolution requires as much faith as the Bible does!", etc. The flowchart actually has two different arguments built into it.

When will they ever learn that it's just not relevant? *eye roll* Those reasearchers and their “evidence”. When will they ever learn that it’s just not relevant? *eye roll*
