Read this drivel:

The cuttlefish is a cephalopod which operates with such sophisticated technology that scientists today are struggling to understand just how this creature came to be. This creature is a perfect example of God's magnificent design, demonstrating stealth tactics, among other features, which include not only changing colors, but also texture, to blend in perfectly with its surroundings. If it is perched atop a barnacle-covered rock, it can conform to mirror the rock as well as the barnacles. But God's amazing creation goes further. The cuttlefish can perform this feat in a split second, and never even look at itself to examine its disguise. He does it by instinct. God is showing forth His glory through His creation.

Then watch these three dopes as they show their complete ignorance of science and evolutionary process:

Then read what the experts have to say about the cuttlefish (on Pharyngula).

It's depressing to see such hopeless ingnorance in the three panelists above, and even more depressing to think there's an increasing number of these IDiots spreading their ignorance around.

Is it just me, or do other people find it a teeny-weeny bit scary that the Pentagon holds "prayer breakfasts" and invites people like Ken Ham, chief honcho at Answers in Genesis and founder of the Creation Museum, as a guest speaker? Mr. Ham uses his blog to write about his visit to the Pentagon, then segues into a babble about how he doesn't believe in evolution and that life on other planets shouldn't occur. Apparently, he must consider the billions of stars that exist in our universe as being there just for show, to twinkle away at night solely for our entertainment.

Now, I know there's no proof of life on other planets, although exoplanets are known to exist. However, this guy flatly refuses to believe in extraterrestrial life on the grounds that it conflicts with his biblical teachings.

What I find scary--other than a steadfast belief in the writings of an ancient document (and only one of many!)--is the fact that the Pentagon decides where in the world to send its soldiers to put their lives at risk. It employs people who are in control of missiles and nuclear weapons and holds what it terms prayer breakfasts. I can only hope these people don't use the opportunity to ask for advice about world issues from someone like Ken Ham and the voices in his head...
