Why do creationists get all their information about evolution from professional crackpots? Are they afraid of real scientists? Are they afraid they might learn something?
Why do evolution deniers ask stupid questions instead of looking things up? Does education make them cry? Why are they so lazy? Why do they need someone to hold their hand?

I never met a Christian who wasn't a stupid fucking asshole.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
-- Isaac Asimov
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
