We used to only have to listen to this kind of scientific ignorance from some fundamentalist groups. but lately its been getting more and more prevalent among our elected representatives. That's why it is imperative for everyone who opposes this kind of thinking to speak up. Write letters to public officials and to the editors of newspapers regardless of whether you are agnostic, atheist, or a more liberal Christian, or a member of any other faith. Just because you may share some common beliefs with the fundamentalists doesn't mean you should support them when they utter such stupidity. Remember, if their views win the day in the political world your children will also suffer the consequences of being denied a proper education in science. America will lose its scientific edge in the world and along with it all of the benefits of modern technology and medicine.
Speak up now! --- And loudly!
