[QUOTE="Hespera, post: 56970413, member: 236382"] The literalists are more profoundly anti science, anti reason than even they realize. One thing we notice-its very obvious, not hard to notice- is that they just CANNOT ever be wrong. That is not a good thing for anyone, and when they can influence others, its even worse. As a Chinese -American, I am ery concerned about the cult of ignorance that creationism represents. And the danger it puts us in. I wish I could just [I]give[/I] people my perspective on this! How many of you have been in the far east I wonder and seen for yourselves just how many intensely bright motivated and intelligent people there are over there? [I] Hint" they way way way outnumber us in the USA[/I] here is another hint. Cultural weakness is no protection. They are going to be utterly unsentimental about american superstitions, and run right over us. Oh, about nuclear physicists etc. N Korea and Iran have nuclear capability; one is a theocracy, the other is a quasi-theocratic dictatorship. We do want people messing with such things to know what they are doing in some ways. Like that they dont dump radioactive wastes everywhere, and have accidents. But even more we need them to not be religious fundamentalists who may set the world on fire for the sake or some stupid ideology. [/QUOTE]
