"Well that's your opinion, if you want an argument over it see previous discussions on the subject of religion and intellegence.
While I try not to attack spelling in posts, your mispelling of intelligence in this context is a delicious bon-bon.
Those are not arguments from the religious side.
They are excuses.
The key phrase is willful, deliberately ignoring evidence in favor of sky-fairy myth. In order to stick to young earth creationism, you have to deliberately
ignore evidence from pretty much every branch of science; while still reaping the benefits that that science has brought to your life.
And that you can see from your window.
Our societies balance on a knife edge, and it is science that allows us to maintain that balance and even further stabilize our precarious position. To have
god-addled simpletons like Palin deliberately undermining those efforts, while reaping the benefits of them, is at best hypocritical and at worse, highly
dangerous.
So yes. Stupid.
Deliberately, maliciously, stupid.
While McCain might go a bit dewy eyed on the poetry of 'god', I give him full marks for going on record as supporting the position of science rather
than the position of deliberate ignorance in regards to evolution.
