“Evolutionary biology has vanished from the list of acceptable fields of study for recipients of a federal education grant for low-income college students.”

The civil war in which we find ourselves is one centering ideology. It might be a mistake that this major was taken off the list, but it could be only a matter of time before the fundies openly try to attack it.

Not convinced? See this:

The fundies want you to think that we are the result of incest. Hmmmm. Adam, Eve, and two sons. You do the math. I like it. It would explain why we’re so fucked up as a species. The mutant effects of “original incest” would be cool, though. I would like having an extra big toe popping out of the top of my head. Maybe an extra scro hanging off my cheek. Sweet. Maybe Pumpkin could have a little pouch on his belly for extra pizza rolls.
“But the genes of Adam and Eve were perfect. That’s why it wasn’t incest.”

1. You’re appealing to the very science that undermines your talking-snake theory (thank you, David Cross)

2. How did we did get the genetic variation we do have?

If you appeal to environmental factors to answer the question, you might as well concede to the theory of evolution…

If you say, “God,” you’ve only put more duct tape on the theory, and you’ve retreated more into ignorance.

Science fucking rocks.
