That “Vile and Offensive” DNA is Gonna Get Us!

[Stingo]

In Berkeley a large sculpture of a DNA molecule is getting some citizens riled up. You see, the sculpture is in plain view of children, and is so big the kids could play on it. One whack job is trying to start a letter-writing campaign, while another is muttering about the “vile and offensive” display, lamenting that he must now educate his child.

1. I swear, half the country is totally insane.

[Demeter]

18. Only Half?

You must live in one of the more enlightened parts of the nation.

[Lost Jaguar]

2. Science is the enemy...

...of faith, to these people. They live in fear and denial.

6. Belief gets in the way of thinking.

[Mopar151]

10. Idiots think they are the same thing n/t

[wolfgangmo]

11. belief and reason

cannot exist in the same head at the same time.

In order to believe once must suspend reason.

3. Gawd, the stupidity in this country is obscene.

She shouldn’t be talking to me about this. Now I’m forced to explain genetics to her, and why the Bible doesn’t say anything about it.”

Does the Bible say anything about cars, pizza, movies, etc?

4. You gotta be kidding with this.

Aren't you?

[Stingo]

12. In Berkeley, yet

[Sinistrous]

5. I'm speechless.

:banghead:

7. I LOVE religion and its wingnuts!

“My daughter suggested that it was funny,” said John Copeland, whose 7-year-old daughter attends summer camp there. “She shouldn’t be talking to me about this. Now I’m forced to explain genetics to her, and why the Bible doesn’t say anything about it.”

Ahh, religion at it again.

8. Maybe he should explain that the Bible was written

by a bunch of itinerant sheep herders with no knowledge of even the science and mathematics of their own time.

9. Wait, I thought Jesus wrote it

The entire King James version was written by Jesus, right?

[rd_kent]

16. I thought King James wrote it

Thats why its his version!

[Stuckinthebush]

17. No, no...Jesus wrote it

and dedicated it to King James.

[rd_kent]

20. I hope you are joking!

And I think you are. But in case your not

23. Good, then my job is done!

13. This people are not representative of the Berkeley

I remember. If this type of right-wing kookery can happen in Berkeley, it can happen anywhere.

14. These people are ignorant loons.

I love this complaint: "My daughter suggested that it was funny,” said John Copeland, whose 7-year-old daughter attends summer camp there. “She shouldn’t be talking to me about this. Now I’m forced to explain genetics to her, and why the Bible doesn’t say anything about it.”

A father is now forced to explain why relatively modern science isn't explained in a primitive collection of stories called the Bible.

The horror!

15. Cue the babbling in Palinese...

Goddity god-god, bibledybibledybible, jeebie-jeebie-jeebus.
