Oh my God! Look at this huge revelation from Ricky Hollywood's son's grandmother's brand new book…

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) vice presidential running mate, signals in her new book Going Rogue that she doesn't believe in evolution, panning it as theory that human beings "originated from fish that sprouted legs and crawled out of the sea."

Yes, and…?

Hang on. Did anybody — anybody! — actually think that Sarah Palin — the lady who attended the church with the witch hunter guy — might believe in evolution?

I'd be amazed if she believed in chemistry. Or math. (I mean, does it ever once mention algebra in the Bible? Shouldn't we be teaching the controversy about this?)

Sorry, America, but it has been decided by the U.S. film industry that you're just too stupid, ignorant and closed-minded to get to watch a new movie about actual real testable science…

The film was chosen to open the Toronto Film Festival and has its British premiere on Sunday. It has been sold in almost every territory around the world, from Australia to Scandinavia.

However, US distributors have resolutely passed on a film which will prove hugely divisive in a country where, according to a Gallup poll conducted in February, only 39 per cent of Americans believe in the theory of evolution.

Instead, why not choke down some fucking shirtless emo vampires? Enjoy.

* I think Anarachy Bear's dilemma might be moot. I mean, have you been paying attention what's been going on with Dittohead Bear?

* The New York Times fires columnist Ben Stein for questioning evolution, believing in God and being critical of Barack Obama… Oh, and also maybe a little bit for engaging in consumer fraud. But just a little.

* Who will Barack Obama's Death Panel vote off of this island we call life? He's not here to make friends.

* It looks like Kim Jong Il will live to pretend to be healthy another day.

* New poll: 7% of New Jerseyans involved in human organ harvesting operation with their local mayor.

Here's an interesting piece of trivia: Did you know that Thomas Jefferson was a strong supporter of Intelligent Design? Yep, it's totally, totally true (according to some guy named Stephen C. Meyer who has absolutely no vested interest at all in this matter)!

In case you're not familiar with Intelligent Design, it's the scientific theory that so long as evolutionary biologists have not yet put together every single piece of the overwhelming physical and molecular evidence for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution as originally postulated in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, then that's proof that a magic person in the sky made everything using magic. You know, science!

Oh, and, in case you're not familiar with Thomas Jefferson, he's a guy who died 33 years before Darwin's theory — which Intelligent Design was created in reaction to — was published and 172 years before the Stephen C. Meyer's Discovery Institute started pushing the concept of Intelligent Design as a means of slowly turning the U.S. into a theocracy.

It's official. Francis Collins has been named, by President Obama, as the head of the National Institutes of Health, which Obama has "has made key to his plans for reviving the U.S. economy and overhauling health care."

NIH "stands as a model when it comes to science and research," Obama said in a statement released by the White House today. "My administration is committed to promoting scientific integrity and pioneering scientific research."

The president hailed Collins as "one of the top scientists in the world" and said his "groundbreaking work has changed the very ways we consider our health and examine disease."

Obviously, this Collins guy is scientist, so — taking into account that science is an abomination before the Lord, not to mention elitist — at first blush, that's unfortunate. However, there's a good side and a bad side to this.

On the good side, Collins is a devout Evangelical Christian, and has been since he discovered the Holy Trinity hiding inside the wondrous beauty of a frozen waterfall while on a hiking trip…

I turned the corner and saw in front of me this frozen waterfall, a couple of hundred feet high. Actually, a waterfall that had three parts to it — also the symbolic three in one. At that moment, I felt my resistance leave me. And it was a great sense of relief. The next morning, in the dewy grass in the shadow of the Cascades, I fell on my knees and accepted this truth — that God is God, that Christ is his son and that I am giving my life to that belief.

The bad news is that he's actually a real scientist who really actually believes in real actual sciencey stuff like evolution and has even gone so far as to head the team of scientists who mapped the human genome. (As if a) God wanted us tampering with such sacrosanct information, or b) that was even a real thing even.)

Hard to tell what all this will mean for the NIH and Obama's precious health care for poor people. But let's just pray that Collins does the Christian thing and destorys the NIH utterly.

Good news, everybody. You can stop struggling to make sense of the idiotic racist murder that James von Brunn carried out at the Holocaust Museum this afternoon.

Belief.net's David Klinghoffer has figured out the real culprit here. It was Charles Darwin…

He writes in his manifesto… "As with ALL LIBERAL ideologies, miscegenation is totally inconsistent with Natural Law: the species are improved through in-breeding, natural selection and mutation. Only the strong survive. Cross-breeding Whites with species lower on the evolutionary scale diminishes the White gene-pool while increasing the number of physiologically, psychologically and behaviorally deprived mongrels."…

This wacko hates Christianity as much he does Judaism. And like Hitler in Mein Kampf, he draws lessons from his interpretation of Darwinism. He's very big on dangers to the Aryan "gene pool." The subtitle of his book promies: "A New Hard-Hitting Exposé Of The JEW CONSPIRACY To Destroy The White Gene-Pool."…

No, he doesn't cite Darwin by name in the part of his book that's readable online — the first 6 of 12 chapters. But do you get the general drift? And you want to tell me that ideas don't have consequences?

Wow. Somebody hurry up and invent an Einstein Award for Excellence in the Field of Thinking, because this Klinghoffer guy totally deserves it.

He has clearly proven that if a person "draws lessons" (otherwise known as completely misrepresenting an idea so as to create a bullshit justification for a flawed and hateful belief system) from a thing, that thing becomes completely responsible the person's actions.

It's amazing that this masterful theory of Klinghoffer's has never ever ever been trotted out by people who don't believe in evolution before. Because there's no possible way that anybody could make a cogent argument against this theory.

And, besides, choosing the groups of people that you think deserve to be murdered and non-personal natural selection occurring over the course of several million years are the exact same thing. Am I right?
