In this post, docnuke wishes that we had a "Science Nazi" to put some sense into the "Intelligent Design" pushers' heads:
This is why we need the Science Nazi. In a situation like this, he would walk up to the Kansas Board of Education and announce:
NO SCIENCE FOR YOU!
What’s that Mr. Board Member? You want to use your cell phone? Sorry that was only possible with the scientific discovery of radio waves.
NO SCIENCE FOR YOU!
What’s that Mr. Intelligent Design/Creationist? You want to drive your giant SUV? Sorry, gasoline is a fossil fuel from the days of the dinosaurs, which don’t exist in your Bible. Not to mention the refining process, and the workings of the internal combustion engine.
NO SCIENCE FOR YOU!
What’s that Mr. Concerned Parent? You don’t support gay marriage cause it’s “unnatural” since gays can’t breed, even though your own quadruplets couldn’t have been born without fertility drugs?
NO SCIENCE FOR YOU!
What’s that President Bush? You don’t support stem cell research and denounce global warming, yet you want to bomb places and send spaceships to Mars? Bombs and rocket fuel don’t just magically appear like the voices in your head that told you to be president.
NO SCIENCE FOR YOU!
These are just a few of the reasons why we need the Science Nazi. We need to remind people that they can’t have it both ways. They can’t have their 21st century technology, medicine and conveniences and still expect society to adhere to fairy tales from 2,000 years ago. If they want that kind of life, they can hang out with the Amish or set up a sanctuary cut off from the world like in The Village. If they are lucky and a divine source is watching out for them, maybe a bunch of them won’t drop dead from easily curable diseases.
Oh, and you, the guy right there, yes you, the one who doesn’t want kids reading Harry Potter because magic is bad, unless it’s Jesus-magic. You shouldn’t be using a computer, that’s chock-full of science and technical wizardry. Log off! Get out of here!
NO SCIENCE FOR YOU!
