CHRISTIAN GENOME

This is surprising and reassuring.

The head of the NIH Genome Project is an evangelical christian and does not believe in the creationist nonsense.

Ignorance is Expensive

Read it. It's pretty good.

Sooner or later they are going to have to get their own people into the tent on science.

They will be extinct if that does not happen. The US is swinging back to education. They will have to let go of the childish ideas they are bound to.

It is nice to see christian leaders speak up and reach out.

Incidentally, I don't believe the Gallup poll results on ignorance either. I would like to see the profile and the question and what part of the country the question was asked. 44% of people believing in God creation within 10,000 years is impossible for me to accept.

I don't much believe any polls about such areas of knowledge or concern. Ask who you are voting for, OK. The rest of it requires far more sophistication in design than most polling companies have the resources to accomplish when clients pay them a relatively small amount of money to take a survey.
