see, why's this gotta be about the bible? what are you racist or something? why couldn't you have said, "The only ones who have to fear science wiping them off the face of the earth are literalists, who believe in the literal reading of religious texts, and they've been on a slow decline for centuries."? |

I never realized that fundamentalist Christians were a race. I've never met or heard of a fundamentalist Buddhist, Hindu, or Shintoist. Islam was once much more excepting of science than it now is, so to claim that fundamentalism in Islam is in decline is not historically correct. |

Actually I think he mentioned Christians and only Christians because of the makeup of this group. No reason to mention any other religion since they are not represented here. No harm, no foul really. |

Hey, all us pastafarians want are for schools to teach the controversy. That in addition to teaching evolution, young students should also be taught that the FSM created the earth, a mountain, some trees, and a midgit [sic] on the first day, rested for three days, then created the rest of the universe and non-midgit [sic] humans in the modern form, and then rested for an additional three days. |
