We watched this thoughtful lecture last night from Ken Miller on Intelligent Design. On one hand, I can’t believe people are still pushing creationism (under a new name, ID). On the other, the politicization of science encourages this.
There was one point in the question and answer session where an old communist “World Can’t Wait” moonbat tries to attack the political right to score some cheap points, trying to liken America today to 1933 Germany. Ken Miller bats him right back down with perhaps his best thoughts of the lecture.
When Bill O’Reilly (and his copycats) pronounce “Secular Progressives” as the enemy, it is extremely damaging to the cause of freedom. They are literally handing over the province of science to the political left and the Al Gore’s of the world couldn’t be happier. There is a symbiotic parasitic relationship between the exploitative left and the religious right that often becomes clear, especially in lectures like this one. They both need each other to survive and together they do all too much damage.

He’ll just try to play with the right hand,” he says. “I don’t know how his grade’s going to be in piano. It worries me a bit.”
