Re: News Items - Creationism as a Political Platform
I was hoping that Olbermann's guest would have talked about the necessity for a scientifically-literate population in times ahead, as we in a democracy are making decisions about things related to science: global warming, stem-cell research, and so on. I think the religious right is seeking to impose their version of morality and their vision of our place in the universe around us on all Americans. Keeping the public confused about key issues and/or ignorant of science is to the benefit of their goals.
