"It's you and me against the world, and we're gonna get creamed"

"It's an absolute infringement on people's beliefs. What's being taught is just as much faith and, you know, just as much pulled out of the air as, say, any religion."
—Missouri state Sen. Rick Brattin, whose bill would allow parents to have their kids opt out of any class where evolution is being taught

Here's the problem, sunshine: the weight of the WORLD is against you. The Roman Catholic Church says that anything in the bible is allegory and myth, not factual. So what's going to happen is that as your state gets more and more anti-evolution, you're going to see more hi-tech and science industries pull out of your state, and your state is going to get more poor.

If you personally want to take the existence of god on faith, go for it. But if you deny the last century of scientific and medical advancement, AND encourage that denial throughout the state, then you're going to be poorer for it.

I won't bother commenting on his discrediting his own faith in the statement, it is amusing though.
