Colbert vs. Dawkins

[asterroc]

I've never really liked Colbert, and sadly here he gives me more reason to not like him. I'm not entirely a fan of what I've heard of Dawkin's book "The God Delusion" either, but.... *sigh*

[looks at Landover Baptist site]

Ah, but see like The Onion the Landover Baptist site is so over-the-top not even I will miss that it's parody. The delivery on The Onion grabs me, while Colbert's did not.

As for being offended by certain topics, it's not the idea of ID itself that offends me, it's the idea that people would swallow it whole without any critical thinking, and the idea that people would misrepresent something without making the effort to learn more about it first. Of course, I do understand that those criticisms of people who believe ID could also be applied to myself to some extent. Perhaps the awareness of my own hipocracy helps fuel my distaste here. :-\

Meanwhile, the Science Quiz has some errors in the sciencey choices.
