The aide said that guys like me were ''in what we call the reality-based community,'' which he defined as people who ''believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.'' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ''That's not the way the world really works anymore,'' he continued. ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality.'' - Ron Suskind, Without a Doubt, NY Times, October 17, 2004

Wisconsin district to teach creationism

Perhaps a deal could be worked out that'd keep everyone happy: anyone who disagrees with evolution can do so. However, they must conversely reject all historical advancements which were borne from the scientific method. Picking and choosing between Science and Faith will not be tolerated. 'Oh, you're getting chemo for your cancer? I'm sorry, that's Science, it'll have to go. But you've got Faith - so chin up!'

My point is that it's just flat out hypocritical that an entire community can come to agree on so many things that were produced as a result of a method that clearly works. But when that method evidences a scenario which conflicts with religious dogma, it is not the method that is attacked, but the evidence.

Anyway, expect to see more stories like this one now that prophet-elect Bush has his mandate.
