In the Dover, PA creationism trial, the judge in the case
chastised (PDF) the advocates of Intelligent Design (ID). The judge went far enough to write in the conclusion of his decision that:
The citizens of the Dover area were poorly served by the members of the Board who voted for the ID Policy. It is ironic that several of these individuals, who so staunchly and proudly touted their religious convictions in public, would time and again lie to cover their tracks and disguise the real purpose behind the ID Policy.
Lie to cover their tracks? Disguising the real purpose of indoctrinating young Pennsylvania slack jaws into Creationism?
On tonight's Newshour (
report in realaudiosucks), there was a report on the US Air Force, focusing on how Evangelical Christians are targeting the institution to force people to become Christians. They're using their rank to force people to pray!
Is it just me, or is there a trend here: Christians targeting institutions to recruit and force their ideas onto others?
This reminds me of the
Christian Faculty Forum at the University of Georgia. I was always suspicious that the faculty members of that group were using their positions to recruit other Christians. I mean, how exactly do you find so many people in the same department who are Christians, and wear that fact on their chest? Come on--of four scientists in the Computational Chemistry department, two are members of the Christian Faculty Forum? Four professors in the Agriculture and Applied Economics school? Three from Biological and Agricultural Engineering? Eight from the business school? There's something fishy here.
