Someone on this forum has accused me of being critical of Roman Catholics, but I love today’s article in The Philadelphia Inquirer. It’s by Rick Santorum—and I think he’s a Roman Catholic.

So you should have no problem answering two simple questions. Are Catholics Christians? Do you consider Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI to be Christians? Liking an article by a Catholic in no way answers either of those.

2nd: Unfortunately, I am referring not only to the current proponents of the theory of man-made global warming. In 2001, I offered a legislative amendment about teaching the subject of evolution. I caught more flak for this simple amendment than for almost anything else I championed in the Senate. What heresy did I propose? Here is the full text: "Good science education should prepare students to distinguish the data or testable theories of science from philosophical or religious claims that are made in the name of science; and where biological evolution is taught, the curriculum should help students to understand why this subject generates so much continuing controversy, and should prepare the students to be informed participants in public discussions regarding the subject." I agree wholeheartedly. Students should be taught that evolution continues to be controversial because of idiots like you who spread lies and misinformation about it. It continues to be controversial because idiots like you keep trying to disguise their religion and junk science as legitimate science, and ram it down students throats.
