I guess "Hinduism" is the only religion that supports evolution.

[PetroniusMaximus]

The walls are coming down in the east!

Maybe someday we will be free of the Darwinist tyrants here also.

Gosh, you gotta wonder why people in Russia might be skeptical about the dominant paradigm.

[From many - one.]

Good.

We're losing ground to just about everyone else in biological research. Be nice to stay out in front of at least one place (besides the Muslim countries)

[taxesareforever]

Pride goes before a fall.

[jjjf]

What do evolutionists fear about creation to the point that they refuse even talking about it?

[From many - one.]

You would like Russia to supercede us in biological research?

Yes, I am proud that America has, in the past, made many major contributions. Yes, I would like it to continue.

Typical lib/dem sky is falling type of non-realistic comment.

[Ed Hudgins]

It's sad that the superstition of communism is being replaced by the fairy tales of creationism. By the way, remember that Soviet pseudo-scientist Lysenko rejected Darwinian evolution as well because it contradicted the communist notion that somehow a New Soviet Man could will himself to emerge out of current human nature

See:

Come on folks, let's finish the Enlightenment enterprise and reject all superstition!

[From many - one.]

Go scan through pubmed for substantive research. See where it was done. Then get back to me.

[From many - one.]

I'm a scientist, not an evolutionist.

What would you like to talk about?

[From many - one.]

Ping?

Oh, goodie. Then we'll be as scientifically advanced as the Russians!

Won't that be fun?

[tallhappy]

Japan, England and Germany do excellent work, France as well as well as a number of sporadic studies from countries such as Taiwan, India, Poland, Spain and others. But the US is still the nation where the most high level biological research occurs.

We have always been in this position.

[PetroniusMaximus]

" Oh, goodie. Then we'll be as scientifically advanced as the Russians!"

Or at least more free!

[WildHorseCrash]

Mouth-breathing morons in the Former Soviet Union alert...

[orionblamblam]

The freedom of the uneducated and superstitious serf.

How much more "free" my life would have been had I not put myself under the strictures of science and engineering. Had I only to say "God did it," then all the hard questions that currently require analysis, math and years of study become a snap.

Hel's belles, maybe I should question the "theory" of ho da Nglush langwaj is spelt. Dat wul mayk mee morr free! Ay dzerv ekul tym n skool fr dis nu tery!! Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! Teecx da cntrovrzy!
