My Son Needs Some Help. Anti-Evolution Speaker Coming to His School

43. Oh, you are a TOXICOLOGIST...Well, then...

That makes a WORLD of difference in how I view what you have written. And published, too! Oh my! I feel so honored that you have even taken the time to address little ole me.

First off...seriously, dude, ego much?? That is the most glaring thing I get from your posts.

As for the rest, appeasing stupidity isn't going to do much to change it. The goal of standing up and asking tough questions which refute Mr. Nutting's religious based theories isn't to change his mind. His mind is made up and his wallet depends on that. The goal is to offer some doubt for all the OTHER people in the room. If everybody goes and keeps their mouths shut and listens respectfully, a lot of people are going to walk out of that lecture thinking that everybody agreed with what was being said. So, yeah, I do want ammunition to create doubt in people's minds. And yes, this subject does get me fired up. I live in an area where high school students stand up and walk out of science class so that they don't have to listen to anything about evolution. Where my daughter's 6th grade social studies teacher told her class that she didn't believe in early man, but was forced to teach it by the state. And I guess we should all just sit quietly and not argue with these people; but the more we do, the more of them there are.
