"Inherit The Wind" Divided The Intellectuals Over Bullshit

Taking a stand for or against Darwin has been the great arbiter of scientific credibility for about a hundred years now. The demand by some to bow to the empirical proof of not evolution but atheism has been incorporated into our political lives. At the time of the Scopes (monkey) trial the eastern intellectuals were thrilled to settle on the domain of these ignorant rusticants and make mockeries of their ignorance for the bemusement of the enlightened class. Because the creation myth was so roundly debunked at that time many "scientific" thinkers think that God has been disproved as well. The Darwin litmus test for scientific reasoning is just another coercive trick to divide people from their own thoughts on these subjects. I do not want to be as dumb as a 19th century country bigot, so I had better just believe whatever a "scientist" wants me to.
